Williams All Dressed Up with Nowhere to Go

David Williams - eliminated
David Williams - eliminated
David Williams flopped a monster against Sam Farha just as the first level of play was concluding, yet somehow he's the one going home early. The board developed {Q-Hearts} {Q-Diamonds} {6-Clubs} {4-Clubs} {10-Spades} with light betting before the river. At the river, Farha was first to act and led out for 15,000. Williams raised that bet to 35,000. Farha, never known for being a passive player, responded by pushing all in and the equally-aggressive Williams called! Williams showed that he had flopped a full house with {Q-?} {6-?}, but Farha rivered a better full house with {Q-?} {10-?}.

A stunned Williams could only stand over the table with his hands on his hips, wondering how things had gone so wrong. He will collect $75,000 in prize money, while Farha prepares for the semifinals later today.
