David Williams, from our vantage from the bleachers
There seems to be a trend lately in poker circles for players to make over their images. For example, at NAPT Venetian it took us more than a day to even notice that Steve Billirakis was even in the field.

That trend is continuing here at the National Heads-Up Poker Champioinship. David Williams is rocking some thick-framed black glasses and has grown his hair out, foregoing his trademark close-cropped buzz cut. Bertrand "ElkY" Grospellier also is sporting an unusual hairstyle -- his hair is flat and completely un-dyed any of his typical vibrant colors. MOC Jordan Siegel called him the "new-look ElkY".

On the far side of the room, Ted Forrest doesn't look made-over, but there is *something* different about him.
