, David Williams raised an opponent all in and he was called. Williams held the 
for a set of threes and his opponent held the 
for top two pair.
The turn card brought the 
and smacked Williams' opponent with a full house to put Williams behind. There was no miracle for Williams when the 
fell on the river and he was left with just 25 chips.

"Nap time until the 5pm NLH heads up event," said his Twitter. We'll see him then.
