Devil Fish Poker | The Poker site from Dave Devilfish Ulliott
Dave “Devilfish’ Ulliott is one of the most successful, formidable, and well-known poker players of our time. The UK’s most successful player with over $5 million in tournament winnings, he won both WSOP and WPT titles and can claim the 2007 Cardplayer European Player of the Year amongst his many accolades. Devilfish has now launched his own poker site at www.devilfish.com
Born in working class Hull, in northern England, Ulliott drifted out of education and on to the wrong side of the tracks before finding salvation, along with international acclaim and financial success, at the poker table.
Having torn up local cash games the length and breadth of the country he took his first real shot at the big time when he made his inaugural visit to Las Vegas in 1996. It was there too that his nickname was first brought to the public’s attention. Heads-up in a tournament with Men ‘The Master’ Nguyen, Ulliott’s friends began shouting “Go on the Devilfish” to counter Nguyen’s noisy support.
Devilfish went on to win the tournament and when the headline “Devilfish devours The Master” appeared in the following morning’s headlines the nickname stuck. Interestingly, Ulliott had been previously known as Dave “The Clock” because he used a grandfather clock to buy into a tournament once when he knew an antiques dealer was playing. He obviously much prefared the new moniker because shortly after he commissioned two huge knuckledusters emblazoned with the words “DEVIL” and “FISH”, one to be worn on each hand, and he began to revel in his new persona.
In 1997 Devilfish returned to Las Vegas for the World Series of Poker where he secured a coveted gold bracelet for winning the $2,000 Pot-Limit Omaha event. Considered to be the pinnacle of any poker player’s career, the WSOP bracelet solidified Devilfish’s reputation as one of the best players on the planet and laid the foundation for his imminent TV celebrity.
When Late Night Poker was first aired on Channel 4 in the UK in 1999 Devilfish became an overnight sensation. With his handcrafted “Devil” and “Fish” knuckledusters, his orange tinted prescription sunglasses, his slick suit, and his hilarious table banter it was clear Ulliott was a star turn. Devilfish demolished the opposition in that first, and seminal, televised poker tournament and won £40,000 and enduring infamy as a star of the emerging poker boom (the event was watched by 1.5 million people when it was first broadcast).
Devilfish has over $5 million in career tournament winnings making him the most successful English poker player in the history of the game. As well as his World Series of Poker victory in 2007 he has come second four times in 1998, 2000 and twice in 2001, and third twice in 2001 and 2005.
In 2003 he won his second “major”, taking down the World Poker Tour $10,000 no-limit hold’em championship for $589,175 and in 2007 he came third in the $15,000 WPT Doyle Brunson Classic in Las Vegas for his biggest ever tournament payday of $674,500.
Indeed 2007 proved to be Devilfish’s most successful year ever in terms of tournaments with over $1.25 million in winnings. As a result he won the prestigious Card Player European Player of the Year title.
Devilfish has many strings to his bow. He launched the first World Series of Poker Europe held in London in 2007 with his great rival Phil Hellmuth – proof if it were needed that he is by far and away Europe’s biggest poker legend.
He is an accomplished musician and singer playing several instruments including guitar and piano and can often be seen at poker tournaments and events entertaining crowds. Author Des Wilson has also written an acclaimed biography of Ulliott called ‘Swimming with the Devilfish”. Devilfish Poker offers some of the hottest promotions you will find on the Net.
