Devilfish Remembered
He may have left the earthly world in 2015, but the legend of Dave "Devilfish" Ulliott lives on, spotlighted in a special documentary airing on partypoker TV. A posthumous selection to the Poker Hall of Fame, Ulliott's life was perhaps the most colorful of any poker pro.
Barroom brawls, robberies, and a stint in prison were among Ulliott's misdeeds before he found his true calling as a poker player, cashing for more than $6.2 million. Don't miss this documentary!
