Faraz Jaka Really Wants to Be WPT POY


Watch Can David Williams take the WPT? on RawVegas.tv

With 18 remaining, Faraz Jaka reclaimed the chip lead at the WPT Championship.

Jaka, who currently holds the lead for WPT Player of the Year, has expressed behind-the-scenes how much he’d like to earn the honors, and is playing like it too. That was a really poorly constructed sentence.

While Jaka holds the chip lead with 3,117,000, he doesn’t necessarily have the title locked up yet…right BJ? A bunch of big names/waist-lines still remain. David Benyamine is second overall with 2,350,000. David Williams (above discussing if he can take down the title) is third overall with 2,072,000.

Also remaining are old-schooler Billy Baxter (1,630,000), Phil Hellmuth (1,377,000), Shawn Buchanan (1,224,000), a looking-to-make-back-to-back-WPT-Championship-final-tables Scotty Nguyen (941,000), Eric Baldwin (880,000), JJ Liu, a woman (674,000), Johnny “Cliff Josephy” Bax (458,000), Jason Lester/Al Krux (421,000), Josh Arieh (303,000), and Matt Stout (274,000).

Heather Sue Mercer was eliminated in 21st.

Just Don’t Get Magic The Gathering…


Watch David Williams The Gathering on RawVegas.tv

We’re not going to rip Magic: The Gathering because we’re pretty sure people who play it can put some sort of hex on us while eating Doritos in their underwear.

It’s just weird to see David Williams not only with more hair but around a bunch of Dorito eaters like in the above vid. Because when he’s not playing Magic: The Gathering DW is out in the VIP section in clubs or banging some Playboy model. Doesn’t compute.

What computes even less is this.

David Williams Leaves Vegas Party Scene to Play A Little MAGIC


Watch David Williams Getting Ready for WPT Legends of Poker on RawVegas.tv

A little late getting this up, but David Williams vlogged before he went to the WPT Legends of Poker last week. He said he hasn’t played much poker since the WSOP but has a pretty heavy Euro travel schedule coming up this month.

Sounds like he wants to get away from the Vegas party scene for awhile, so going to play MAGIC at GEN CON in Indiana seems like the perfect tonic for that shit.
