World Poker Tour event in September 2004
Winning $3.5 million may inspire the average person to take some time off, kick back, spend some money, and just plain chill but not David.
Since his second-place finish at the 2004 WSOP, David has followed the tournament circuit religiously, earning another $800,000 in live tournaments alone, including a fantastic second-place finish to Daniel Negreanu at the World Poker Tour event at Borgata in September of 2004.
That performance, which David described as the best poker he's ever played, reinforced the fact that he was no one-hit wonder.
As you can imagine, money really isn't David's central concern in life at this point. With millions in the bank earning interest and tied up in well-placed investments, David knows how to make the dream last.
Living this dream, for David, involves mostly helping those close to him. He paid off his mother's and grandparents' homes and bought cars for his closest friends and girlfriend.
The only money David really spent on himself after the WSOP was for a diamond-laden $25,000 Rolex, a watch he'd mentally locked up years ago. Only recently did David make a major purchase, when he picked up a beautiful black Mercedes SL 500 this past May.
I looked at Ferraris and Lamborghinis, but I thought buying one would be too ridiculous. I loved the Bentley Continental GT, but I still didn't want to spend $165,000. I regret now not getting the Bentley. I see SL 500s everywhere, and don't feel complete yet.
The Bentley is on another level, and you never really see it. I think by Christmas, if I win a little and save a little bit, I might trade up.
Complementing his success in the live-poker environment, David also has had quite a bit of success online. Sponsored by Bodog.com, one of the hottest new poker sites in the game, David spends as many as 12 hours a day playing online (screen name: David Williams) when he's not traveling the tournament circuit.
