Ayre Force

By beating five of the best players in the world to win the latest edition of Poker After Dark last week, David Williams showed why he is one of the best players in the world. The game included Howard Lederer, Mike Matusow, Antonio Esfandiari, Eli Elezra, Barry Greenstein, as well as BodogLife’s own Williams.

Williams was able to pick up $20,000 more than the usual $120,000 that goes to the winner of the event, after Eli Elezra busted out early and bought back in. Williams did have to get lucky with his pocket Jacks against Howard Lederer’s pocket Aces, but was able to hit a third Jack on the river to knock the Professor out.

The heads-up battle was against Antonio Esfandiari and didn’t last very long, with Williams’ pocket sevens holding up against Esfandiari’s A-5. That was all David Williams needed to take down the $140,000 winner-take-all prize.

What do tennis players do at Wimbledon during those interminable rain delays? Poker, according to Boris Becker.

The three-time Wimbledon champ recently told German newspaper Die Welt that he is  joining the professional poker circuit. Back in November, Becker signed up with Team PokerStars with an eye on playing in the European Poker Tour. Next month, he hopes to get a shot at the Grand Final in Monte Carlo.

It’s all about the psychology of the game for Becker, which fits his personality as one of the more cerebral and emotional tennis players of his or any era. Becker also happens to be the son of an architect, and when he isn’t running one of his successful businesses, Becker sits on the advisory board of German soccer club Bayern Munich.

Given his track record, Becker should thrive on the poker tour – unless the distraction of an Isabelle Mercier or Team Bodog’s own Evelyn Ng leads him astray.
