William Edler (born February 11, 1964) is an American professional poker player from Las Vegas, Nevada. He has a J.D. degree from the University of California, Berkeley.

Edler won a World Series of Poker bracelet in 2007 by claiming the $5,000 buy-in shorthanded No-Limit hold'em tournament. The win earned Edler over $900,000. [1]

In 2007, Edler cashed in the money for the first time in the $10,000 No Limit Hold'em Main Event Championship coming in 23rd place out of a field of 6,358 players, winning $333,490. [2]

Edler has also had success in heads-up playing, winning the inaugural $10,000 buy-in Heads-Up Poker Championship in Compton, California in 2007. [3]

In addition, Edler won the September 2007 World Poker Tour title at the Gulf Coast Poker Championship, winning $747,615. [4] At this event he set the record for the greatest come back in World Poker Tour history. With only 17 players left out of 256 entries with only 2 tables left, [5] Edler had only 2 x $1,000 chips left and was unable to meet the blinds of $4,000/$8,000. Edler went on to win the event, making this the biggest comeback in World Poker Tour tournament history. [6]

Edler also finished 6th at the March 2007 Bay 101 Shooting Star WPT tournament, winning $160,000, and has cashed in six other WPT events. [7]

As of 2010, Edler's total live tournament winnings exceed $3,425,000. [8] His 6 cashes at the WSOP account for $1,306,489 of those winnings. [9]
