Cocky Poker Pro David Williams Pimp Slapped?

It seems poker pro David Williams really can’t seem to get himself out of the public spotlight lately. The guy seems to live on making sure his name is constantly being talked about - either with shenanigans on the felt - or off it. Since becoming a household name after his 2nd place finish in the 2004 WSOP Main Event, Williams has found himself in quite a few media scandals since then.

A few years back, Neverwin Poker broke a story that saw the young Bodog Pro in a foot fetish porno that he did during his Magic the Gheythering days (emphasis on “ghey”), prompting rumors that either he was in desperate need of cash at the time - or was simply just looking to get a little freaky in front of the camera. In either case, an eminent PR mess was somehow avoided, as a lot of the mainstream poker media refused to comment on the story despite the popularity of it on the forum boards and other gambling websites.

From that point on though, there was just a stigma about David Williams that always seemed to follow him around. The rumors floating about that he was an arrogant prick and loved to flaunt his reputation as much as he loved to flaunt his love for mid-digital toes (insert “haha” here please) sometimes preceded his reputation as one of the best young players on the circuit.

Well, this was definitely put up for speculation after an incident that supposedly went down last year at a nightclub in Las Vegas.

A poster on 2+2 basically said a trusted friend and confidante confirmed with him that David Williams was the victim of a vicious pimp smack by a bouncer who could no longer stand David’s attitude. D.W. apparently was running his mouth off - and well…lemme just paste a quote from the post itself that gives a little more detailed insight on the situation.

“DW was hanging out with a red pro from FT and the red pro also had a friend in town who happened to deal drugs for a living. So theres a decent sized group and DW rolls up to this (white, doesnt look like a UFC fighter or nuttin) dude and gives him the “who the eff are you” routine. Dudes like “what?” cuz he cant believe a mofo would roll on him like that. DW is like ” i said who are you”, Dude open hand BITCH SMACKS DW…DW tries to maintain his cool image and rolls back up like he was gonna do something. Dude BITCH SMACKS him again, this time knocking him to the floor. At this point DW decides enough is enough and starts yelling for security as he is being assaulted.”

The thread takes a turn for the best when David’s good buddy Theo Tran chimes in demanding the OP to put up or shut up, and basically puts up $10k on behalf of D.W. to prove that this actually went down. In the end, a lot of shit was talked, more fun photoshops were made of David Williams, and the original poster essentially refused to give up his sources or who the mysterious Red Full Tilt Pro was that was with D.W. the night the incident supposedly happened.
