He may be a star poker player in his own right but Dave ‘Devilfish’ Ulliott, the UK’s most successful poker player of all time with wins totalling $5 million, has decided to open his own online poker site at www.devilfish.com. A quick look at Ulliott’s site shows that he means business with a very slick look and feel to the website and a vast number of players already active. So who is the man they know as ‘Devilfish’?
Dave Ulliott started life in working class Hull where he had something of a chequered past, drifting in and out of education and mixing with the wrong crowd. However, his salvation was his skill at poker and this has literally changed his life and brought him untold riches. The $5 million in winnings is dwarfed by his business dealings which have taken him to a different level, especially in the UK where he is THE name.
However, ‘Devilfish’ is not all mouth and has actually taken some of the largest tournaments in the sector culminating in a WSOP bracelet win back in 1997. He now travels the world chasing the big bucks but maybe he is looking to life after the tournaments with the launch of his own poker site?
