Chip Vortex in the Center of the Room

A table has materialized in the center of the room: David Williams, Michael Binger and Nenad Medic. Medic and Williams are both pushing approximately 80,000 in chips. In a field of more than 500 players, it's an extremely coincidental table draw -- not because they all live in the United States (although they do). Also not because they all live in Las Vegas (although that's true too). Mainly because they all live in the same building in Las Vegas. If they wanted to play poker together, they certainly didn't have to travel across nine time zones to do it.

Williams just knocked an opponent off of the table by betting the river of a {J-?} {2-?} {4-Clubs} {7-Clubs} {J-Clubs} board. The bet was about 9,000 chips, enough to set Williams' opponent all in. He called with {9-Spades} {9-Hearts}; that was no match for the nut flush that Williams revealed, {A-Clubs} {K-Clubs}.

After the eliminated player had departed the table Binger, sitting next to Williams, turned to him and said, "One day I just want to be able to do one of the two -- play good or run good. You do 'em both." Williams just smiled and stacked his chips.
