A Bounty on Williams

[user38368]

Erick Lindgren stopped by David Williams's table and placed a $1,000 bounty on his head.

"Do we have to bad beat him or just beat him?" a player asks.
"Just beat him," Lindgren says.
"You don't have to do that," Williams says. "They try to take me out every hand!"
