Williams works in the television industry and considers himself a keen recreational poker player, albeit one with a WSOP bracelet. Williams' work means he doesn't have much time for multi-day tournaments, but he does frequent Los Angeles casinos when his spare time permits.

“I honestly don’t know which means more,” the new champion honestly said when asked about the importance of the money versus the bracelet. “I think the bracelet is really cool, the money is really cool, at this moment they are both equal," Williams told PokerNews reporters following his impressive victory.
