"I guess the ace of spades is marked," he joked.

David Williams Eliminated in 4th Place ($36,470)

Level 21 : 10,000/20,000, 2,000 ante
David Williams - 4th Place
David Williams - 4th Place

We missed the exact action, but according to a fellow reporter, Williams got the remainder of his stack in the middle with a gut-shot straight draw on fifth street. Stephen Su, who had him at risk, had two pair, and both players bricked on sixth. On seventh, Su flipped his card over immediately, and filled up. Williams was drawing dead, and threw his hands in the air.

Williams was unable to ship his second bracelet today, but banks $36,470 for his efforts.
