Poker player David Williams, who inexplicably survived rumors of porn stardom last month without as much as a scratch, has achieved the unexpected once again by winning a poker tournament while suffering from the flu. Williams beat the likes of Jennifer Tilly and more at Calvin Ayre Wild Card Poker tournament, a segment to be aired as part of Mr. Bodog's poker reality TV series.

Williams worked hard to keep focused and composed during the tournament, keeping to himself for most of the tournament. On the one hand, it paid off because Williams nabbed the $50,000 prize as well as entry to the final table of the Calvin Ayre Wild Card Poker tournament. On the other hand, Williams needed to be shipped off to the hospital immediately following the tournament, where he received medical attention for his symptoms.
