By Dave Ulliott
This is the tale of Dave ‘Devilfish’ Ulliot, who went from Hull council estate, via crime, to become a hugely successful poker player.
Ever wanted a seat at the table with the Devilfish? Well, here’s your chance …
Devilfish: The Life and Times of a Poker Legend tells the no-holds-barred life story of poker player and all-time legend, Dave ‘Devilfish’ Ulliott.
Ulliott ended up with tournament winnings of £6 million, but he started life on a council estate in Hull, where he staved off boredom with a spot of safe-cracking. He finally found his true vocation at the card table.
From prison to a penthouse in Las Vegas; from gang fights to parties at the Playboy mansion; from losing $700,000 in a day to winning a World Series of Poker bracelet; from being public enemy No 1 to the big draw on Channel Four’s Late Night Poker, Devilfish knew what it meant to win – and lose – big, and still come out cracking jokes. This rollercoaster ride of a book is raw and funny. It is bound to please poker fans, those who admire the Devilfish and all who enjoy autobiographies.
