Former NFL Star "Cadillac" Williams Wins Seminole Hard Rock Tampa Event

Former Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Carnell “Cadillac” Williams is continuing to run well in Florida as he recently took down a weekend poker tournament at Seminole Hard Rock Tampa for $16,915, his biggest live poker score to date.

The former professional NFL player, who spent five years on the Florida football team after being drafted in 2005, got through a field of 185 players in the July 23 $400 buy-in Triple 30’s No Limit Hold’em event, ultimately defeating Winter Garden's Ryan Hogan during heads-up play, who in turn took home $10,430, according to Seminole Hard Rock staff.
