The Classic Showdown
It's always a classic showdown when Eddy Williams is in the box.
The veteran dealer has actually been pitching cards here since the day the Niagara Falls Poker Room opened a little over a decade ago.
Williams was a Stickman in the Craps Pit here before they moved him over to poker, and he's been running one of the tightest games in Western New York ever since.
But it is literally a classic showdown every time Eddy Williams is in the box.
He calls the game loud enough for the entire room to hear, and every single time the cards go on their back preflop, Williams calls it a classic. It could be the 
versus the 
, or the 
up against the 
— It doesn't really matter what is turned over, Wlliams will call it a "classic showdown."
Every now and then he even manages to get it right, with a real classic like aces over kings or the 
over the 
showing up.
When you really stop and think about it, maybe they are all classics? Certainly they would seem to be over 10 years at the tables where you must have seen it all, at least twice.
Regardless, waiting for the next classic showdown at Williams' table is one of the great pleasure of playing in the Niagara Falls Poker Room and the players consistently rave about how Eddy Williams runs a game.
