Williams in the Upper Echelons

Kevin Williams is up to 185,000 after winning a huge pot with top two pair. There had been a raise with two callers and Williams made the call in the small blind with {10-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds} and the big blind joined in with the fun.

The flop was {10-Hearts}{8-Hearts}{5-} and it was checked all the way around to the button who bet 8,000. Williams check-raised to 21,000 before the original raiser moved all in for about 75,000. The button then folded and Williams made the call with top two and found his opponent with {5-Hearts}{2-Hearts}. The {8-Clubs} came on the turn locking up the pot for the Englishman and the {J-} river was pretty much meaningless.

This pot puts Williams among the chip leaders.
