In a heads-up battle that lasted 34 hands, Williams was not able to quickly put away his less-experienced opponent, Maxim Magazine staff member Erin Ness.
The New Jersey-born Ness, who was the third highest female finisher (207th place) at the 2004 WSOP Main Event behind Rose Richie of Florida (98th) and Lucy Rokach of England (159th), played cautiously in a straightforward manner as she avoided trouble early in the heads-up match.
Ness laid down A-5 on Hand 21, the first hand of heads-up play, when Williams re-raised with A-K. Williams was also unable to extract chips from Ness on Hand 27, when Ness missed the flop while holding J-9 against Williams' pocket Aces.

Almost two dozen of the best poker players on the European (and yes, the world) scene are profiled by Wilson and he has given them the same attention and detail that he applied to "The DevilFish".
Players such as Dave Colclough, Lucy Rokach, Simon Trumper, Roy "The Boy" Brindley and the Hendon Mob are just a few of the fascinating characters that he runs across and have been integral in the poker rooms of England and Europe.
If it was simply a book of biographies, Wilson would have to be commended for just that alone.
