Classic Hand: Correct Read but Reversed
During the 2025 WPT Cyprus Championship, Williamson played a famous hand. Blinds 400/800/800, he raised to 6,500 from cutoff with A♥T♦, four players called. Flop J♠7♠3♥, he bet 9,000, only Gheorghe Fedorca check-shoved for about 91,000. After a long tank, Williamson called with bottom pair, ace-high, and a gutshot straight draw. Opponent showed K♥9♥ for an open-ended straight draw. Williamson was ahead, but the turn K♣ gave the opponent a straight, and the river did not improve, Williamson was eliminated. This hand was rated by WPT as the 'Gold Hand' of the day, praising his correct read but bad outcome.
Playing Style
Based on limited hand histories, Williamson's style leans towards tight-aggressive, good at reading hands and decision-making. He focuses on starting hand quality and can make logical inferences about opponents' ranges post-flop. For example, in the WPT hand, he accurately judged that the opponent was on a draw and made the correct call, although unsuccessful, it demonstrates his analytical ability. In short-stack situations, he will also shove decisively, such as in the Irish Open where he shoved with K♠Q♠ and was called by top pair, getting eliminated.
