Dave Devilfish Ulliott - Poker Champion David Ulliott

David "The Devilfish" Ulliott is one of poker's leading personalities. I have seen him on a few occasions, but talked with him only occasionally. The impression I got from him as far as personality is that he is arrogant. I have always been drawn to people with this trait and he is no different. When I was introduced to David, I started talking to him about my site and the first thing that came out of his mouth was, "You want to do a profile on me, right?" I replied: "Of course I do, that would be great."

Devilfish spent his early years involved in criminal activity. At one time he was involved in a safe-cracking team and he was eventually caught and spent time in prison. Once he was released, he continued on the wrong path and it eventually led him to prison again. When he met his second wife, he went straight. His biography, Swimming with the Devilfish goes into more detail about his early years.

David makes his home in the UK where he is a jeweler. I would imagine the rings he is known for wearing are his own creations. He is also known for sitting at the poker table behind a pair of shades. He has made a name for himself as a poker player, whether he is playing live action or tournament play. David started to play poker at the age of sixteen. He played cash games before seriously turning his attention to tournaments. His first tournament was in January 1997 where he beat another well known opponent, Men "The Master" Nguyen. This tournament was also where he received his memorable nickname "The Devilfish".

The World Poker Tour has made celebrities out of many of the players, especially the winners. David is no different with his win at Tunica. I heard a story about him that kind of made me laugh. At one time, he was a spokesperson for UltimateBet and under an agreement with them, he had to play a certain amount of hours on their site under his real name. He was sitting on the table and of course all of the players were chatting and asking him questions. Some were telling him how they were huge fans. One (female I assume) proceeded to tell him she was playing on her computer naked.

I asked one of my friends who happens to be close with David if he thought David was arrogant. He stated that he does not think a person is arrogant if they know they are a good player. Only if they talk down to another person trying to belittle them. "David should have a high opinion of his game, because he is a very, very good player." He also told me David likes to do Elvis impersonations. I have heard that it is not uncommon for him to pick up a microphone at a tournament and do a little.

People that are new to poker probably only know that David won the World Poker Tour at Tunica. However, he has many final table appearances and first place finishes, including the first season of the Late Night Poker television show in the UK. He won the 1997 Pot Limit Holdem at the World Series of Poker, Pot Limit Omaha High at the 2002 World Poker Open and the 2007 No Limit Holdem event at the Gold Strike World Poker Open.
