Congratulations to David Williams on winning the 2010 WPT Championship last weekend. As is the case with every winner of the annual WPT Championship, it was an especially impressive victory because of the small, elite field over which he prevailed. He beat Eric Baldwin heads-up, outlasted the Official Final Table that also included David Benjamin, Shawn Buchanan, and Billy Baxter. He also contended with a nine-player table that included legends Scotty Nguyen and Phil Hellmuth.

While Phil Ivey had Scotty one card from near-elimination, Phil Gordon announced that he was all-in against Phil Laak. After Nguyen hit his miracle nine on the river, the cameras huddled around the other two Phils, after Laak made the call. Gordon showed K-5o, Laak Qs-9s. Gordon was marginally ahead, and that margin increased substantially after the flop of Kd-4c-Jc.
Worried now only about Laak’s gutshot draw, Gordon chanted “no ten, no ten,” as the dealer peeled off a harmless two of hearts on the turn.
The ten showed up on the river.

[This is part of my narrative of the NBC Heads-Up Championship, which this year is not appearing in real time but in serial form, as I write. Although I'm writing quickly, I'm also experiencing it all and trying to give at least a few hours of perspective before writing. Consequently, I'm posting this on Sunday morning from the tournament room, but the "story" is still early in the first round on Friday. I interrupted this order to share the electrifying experience of Annie Duke's victory over Paul Wasicka late last night. I encourage you to check out that post. Or, in the alternative, enjoy the story as it plays out.]
