Dave "Devilfish" Ulliot was 54 years ago in the city of Hull, England was born, where he also spent his turbulent youth. He was certainly not a model student, which meant that he at the age of 15 years of school left. After he unsuccessfully some temporary jobs had, he came in contact with the local crime scene and it was not long before he made a name there was.

Post your gambling news article in the online poker and casino gambling news manager.

Ulliot, who as the son of a Fallschirmspringers (2nd World War), came relatively early in contact with gambling. While he worked for a company which manufactures Combs, he often during the lunch break on the racetrack to bet. After his first 50:1 Bet won, he decided to work less, which meant that he was fired.

Since he no longer had a job, he decided his money in an unconventional way to earn. He joined a group of criminals, which focused on safe crack had specialized in special kiosks, garages and shops, which are not in his immediate vicinity were established, as it was better the chance not to be caught.

His criminal career ran perfectly until a member of his group at a hearing him verpfiff, which meant that for 9 months behind bars had. When he came out of the prison, he picks up where he had stopped and so it was not long before he further 3 days in the cell had to sit. He ended penniless.

But he had learned its lesson still not learned that he still worked in the criminal milieu, and had at the age of 28 years for another 18 months in prison. After his release he was planning a bank robbery criminals along with a name John, which he had learned in prison. On the day of the bank robbery John was arrested because his wife, the police had a tip. Dave chose this moment in his criminal career to an end. Shortly thereafter, he met his second wife, and there is no doubt that Dave since that time the law has not been broken.

After his turbulent times in the underworld, Dave decided to return to bet on horses and playing poker (he played poker since his early youth). Shortly before the end of 1990 traveled Dave and his good friend Gary & Chauffeur Withaker by England and played as much poker as possible. In addition, Withaker for Ulliot in local betting because Ulliot no betting was allowed to submit more. Together you can create it from £ 4,000 Capital £ 70,000 to make.

In the poker games in which Ulliot participated at this time, was also attended by well-known players such as Dave Colclough, John Shipley part - not bad for a local game. As Ulliot first traveled to London in order to play poker, he noted that players in London were better and that it was not so easy money off this. It is critical to adapt the game a little and became a very successful player in the London poker scene - something that at this time was not safe. It was generally known that a weapon Ulliot always carried with him when he played, in order to be able to react when it should escalate. There are some stories about how Ulliot with his weapon into the air fired by gangsters from abusing the players rob.

It seems as if he had already played as good as today. He lost times a pot of £ 60000 against players Donnacha O'Dea (which later in 1998, a WSOP bracelet won. He played the whole night and ended the session ultimately still at a profit. On another day he played at 5 different venues and ended the day with a profit of at least £ 35,000 in each of the 5 games.

After a few years cash games played, Ulliot focused more on poker tournaments, with the tournaments back then, however, were different than at present times. His first success he had in 1993, where he was from this time steadily improved and in 1996 in a week in Vic Casino £ 100000 won. This encouraged him along with his friend Gary Withaker to Las Vegas to stay, where to play poker.

In 1997 succeeded Dave Ulliot at $ 500 Pot Limit Omaha tournament in the heads-up against Men "The Master" Nguyen. This game was also his nickname "Devilfish" known what it further during his career should accompany. While his counterpart Nguyen Ulliot slowly chip for chip fell, Nguyen cheered their favorite with the slogan: "Go Go Master!" , it therefore decided to his friend Gary Withaker also something to support his friend and fired with "Devilfish Go!" at. After Ulliot had won the tournament, stood in the local media: "The Devilfish devours The Master". Since that time, Dave Ulliot across the scene as "The Devilfish" known.

Devilfish The name actually comes from Japan and comes from a toxic fish, also known as Tako, the consumption of this can be lethal if they are not properly prepared. Actually, he had his name briefly earlier in a live game in Birmingham will receive. The organizer of the live games, Au Yeung, was for each player a nickname invented. Among the other famous players, what their names Yeung have received included Surinder Sunar (Cobra) and Micky Wernick (the worm).

In 1997, played Ulliot the first time at the WSOP. He came with a bank roll in the amount of $ 200,000 after Vegas, but lost the most in cash games and tournaments. He then borrowed $ 70,000, which he also lost. He then made it still more to borrow $ 2,000 and put it on Pot Limit Holdem event. A day later, he sat at the Final Table, and ultimately secured his victory by his only previous WSOP bracelet. After his first WSOP event won Ulliot decided that his nickname "Devilfish" on his golden bracelet engraved to leave.

In the following weeks it went very well for Ulliot and he won every day, between $ 10,000 and $ 20,000 in cash games. At this time also plays Ulliot Heads-Up Pot Limit Omaha against the businessman and triple bracelet winner Lyle Berman. Ulliot left the table with a gain of $ 168,000 and the end of his journey, he had won about $ 750,000. He returned with suitcases full of money back to England and was from the local poker scene celebrated as a hero.

In 1999, Ulliot on Late Night Poker, and thus made himself an international reputation. When the season was also the first hole card cams used. This innovation was to the spectators for the first time possible, the hole cards to see and thus to learn how to play each hand - a fact which for the poker fans in England a lot of enthusiasm generated. During the preliminary rounds made it Ulliot known players such as Joe Beevers and Surinder Sunar defeat. Ultimately, he won the event for which he is a prize money of £ 40,000 received.

But more important than the money that was certainly the popularity of the "The Devilfish" by his eccentric personality and the way he talked his opponents, gained. More than 1.5 million Englishman looked to as Ulliot in Late Night Poker Final Table on sat. Ulliot played well in all the other consequences of Late Night Poker with, but managed only one more time to the Final Table.

Dave Ulliot is known for its appearance as a gentleman known. Another hallmark of his countless Ulliot sunglasses in different colors. He wears on each hand ankle ring, on the one where "Devil" on the other "fish" so that no one forgets who he is. Ulliot still has Wettverbot and may be attached to any form of horse bets or participate in sports betting, where he previously again and again for years and had won the bookmakers during this time is not really made happy. Most of his friends had for him as long as bets have been made to them was also prohibited.

In 2003, he had his biggest success when he was an event during the first session of the World Poker Tour in Binion's Horseshoe (Tunica / Mississippi) won. He received $ 589,175 for his victory, although he is against 160 opponents had to enforce. At the Final Table eliminated himself four of his five rivals and ended the heads-up against Phil Ivey. The commentator Mike Sexton said that Ulliot to the dominant players would include what he ever at a WPT Final Table has seen seated. At the second session of WPT Ulliot received an invitation for the Bad Boys of Poker event, where he was a bit unhappy at the Bubble ausschied.

One of his most recent success was in December 2007 his third place in the WPT's Doyle Brunson Classic ($ 674,500)

We take the cat out of the bag: The winner is Peter Eastgate.

Initial situation was this: Dennis Phillips went with 26,295,000 chips as a leader in the final table, lined up behind Ivan Demidov, Scott Montgomery, Peter Eastgate, Ylon Schwartz, Darus Suharto, David Rheem, Craig Marquis, Kim and Kelly one. They were 24,000 to 10,000 chips in their hands, only Kim Kelly had 2,620,000 with very poor chances to win the tournament. It is not surprising that the poker player than eights had to admit the table.

Not much better it ran for Darus Suharto and Scott Montgomery. Both came a few more seats, remained the record profit, however. Interestingly, it was then in 37th round The former chip leader Dennis Phillips stood with almost 17,000 chips nurnoch place on 4 and from the field could hardly be lower. Even more surprising was then his departure. When the flop (Jack Cross, Diamonds 4, Pik 3) brought the later winner Peter Eastgate (Diamonds 3, Cross 3) a horrendous 1.5 million bet. Despite bad hand (heart 9, Cross 10) of Americans went all-in and had, therefore, to the rails. The 3-Drilling of Eastgate, he could never beat.

Particularly exciting was then heads-up between the two Europeans Peter Eastgate and Ivan Demidov too. After the flop (Diamonds 2, spade king, heart 3) Eastgate increased to 1,250,000 chips. The counterparty called and then drove with a check (the inverted cross 4) continued. Has been increased several times until the Eastgate all in his opponent had gecallt immediately. While the Russians with (Heart 2, Heart 4) in only two couples held hands, the Dane countered with a straight (diamond ace, spade 5).

Thus won the 22-year-old Peter Eastgate from Denmark. With his victory he became the youngest aspirated WSOP Main winners of all time. When the $ 9,152,416 bonus victory, he will have money in spite of the ongoing financial crisis, no thoughts of mind.

Yesterday it was finally so far. After 117 days of waiting and tension started at 10:30 local time in Las Vegas the final table of WSOP Main Events 2008. Hours before the official admission gathered hundreds of supporters of the 9 finalists before the Rio All-Suite Hotel and Casino to get the best seats around the final table to secure. After all players individually and were presented at the table had taken place and from the mouths of the previous year's winner Jerry Yang's magical words "Shuffle up and deal" resounded the starting gun was purchased.

Thus began the 9 finalists in the 2008 WSOP Main Event Final Table:

Seat 1: Dennis Phillips (26,295,000)
Seat 2: Craig Marquis (10,210,000)
Seat 3: Ylon Schwartz (12,525,000)
Seat 4: Scott Montgomery (19,690,000)
Seat 5: Darus Suharto (12,520,000)
Seat 6: David Rheem (10,230,000)
Seat 7: Ivan Demidov (24,400,000)
Seat 8: Kelly Kim (2,620,000)
Seat 9: Peter Eastgate (18,375,000)

With blinds of 120000/240000 (Ante 30000), many expected the Kim during the first round on all or nothing play, but which was not so. It took 13 hands before the first player Flop got to see, but after a bet of Montgomery and a fold of the hand Demidov was already over. Three hands later, Phillips and Schwartz saw a flop of 4 ♠ ♠ 7 ♣ 2, Phillips put 2.35 million, but then had to abandon his hand than his counterpart increased to 6 million. Thus Phillips now had his Chiplead to the Russians Ivan Demidov lost. That the Americans wanted to be equal to 2 Hands retrieve later, but this plan was duly wrong. Phillips limpte UTG and all foldeten to Ivan Demidov on the button. This increased to 1025000, both blinds foldeten and Phillips re-raises it to 3525000th Demidov pondered for a while and rose again, this time to 8225th Phillips called, and thus had both players now on their third stack before the flop invested. The flop showed 8 ♦ 10 ♣ ♠ J Phillips continued Demidov 4.5 million and immediately went all-in. Phillips was forced to abandon his hand and now had less than 9 million in chips ahead of them, while Demidov, with over 35 million chips so slowly from the rest of the field could sell.

The players seemed a little now but bright and discovered the joy of playing. Especially Ylon Schwartz was able to secure some beautiful pots and was at 30 Hands, the new chip leader at the table. Then it was finally time for Kim Kelly all-in to go on his luck but he also got the right hand to do so. Kim went in small blind with K K ♣ ♥ all-in and was Demidov in the big blind immediately gecallt. This, however, showed only 10 ♦ ♠ K and after a board of 7 ♠ 7 ♣ 6 ♣ 9 ♠ ♠ 3 was Kim's stack again on 1720000 to grow. Only 3 hands later, Kim was all-in again, this time against Chino Rheem, but both players showed AK and split the pot.

Then it was slowly but surely a little place at the table was created. In Hand # 52 Craig Marquis went from middle position with 7 ♦ 7 ♥ 4925000 for the rest of its all-in and was by Montgomery with A ♦ Q ♥ gecallt. The flop brought 10 ♠ A 7 ♣ ♥ and Marquis was with his triplet front. But then appeared at the Turn of J ♦, and Marquis to the horror of many on the River even the K ♠, which Montgomery his runner-runner straight and Marquis had taken as the first player to the final table had to leave. Because all 9 finalists before the start of the final table prize money of 9th place ($ 900670) paid gekriegt had Marquis was the only player without additional prize money would go home.

Now the spell seemed broken, and equal in the next hand, Kim Kelly was also all-in after this on the big blind only 150,000 chips before him. This then found their way into the middle of the table, and Schwartz, called Suharto and Demidov. The flop was 9 ♥ 6 ♠ ♠ 2, Demidov continued 600000, Schwartz foldete and went with Suharto. The turn brought the A ♥, and both players check. The river brought the Q ♦, and re-check both. Suharto showed that 9 ♣ ♣ 10 and won the pot against Demidov's 9 ♠ ♦ 5. Kelly Kim muckte his hand and said goodbye to space 8 ($ 1288217)

Some Hands later, it seemed almost as if the early favorite Dennis Phillips must go, but the poker gods seemed to be good with him today to say. Chino Rheem raised before the flop to 1 million, Phillips went with Ylon and Schwartz rose to 4, 4 million. Rheem pondered briefly and foldete pointed his hand, followed by an all-in by Phillips for a total 10,050,000th Schwartz called immediately and shows Q Q ♣ ♠ and was thus far in the lead against Phillips' A Q ♣ ♥. Schwartz already seemed to know what it would send to him and could not even look. His fears were as the flop was 4 ♦ A J ♣ ♠ saving the ace for Phillips showed. The turn came 6 ♠ and the River 3 ♥ and Phillips was back in the game with just over 20 million in chips.

Shortly afterwards, had a bitter Chino Rheem Bath Beat insert for him to shut meant. Rheem went from middle position with its remaining 3.5 million with A K ♣ ♠ all-in and Demidov called with A ♦ Q ♥. Actually, a great situation for Rheem, but after the flop Q 5 ♠ ♠ 7 ♦ saw it all again quite different. The turn brought the 9 ♦ and on the River appeared the 4 ♥, making the tournament for Rheem was a bitter end. For his 7th place, he still received $ 1772650 in prize money.

Now the pace was again a bit out and it took about an hour until a seat at the table was released. Scott Montgomery increased in the cutoff at 1500000 and 8550000 Suharto went for all-in. Montgomery pondered long, but then decided to call and showed A Q ♦ ♠. A good call as it turned out that Suharto had merely A ♥ ♣ 8 on the hand. The board brought J K ♠ ♠ 2 ♠ ♠ 4 for 4 ♣ and Darus Suharto was the event passes (ranked 6, $ 2418562).

Almost 20 minutes later it came to a hand between Montgomery and Demidov the tournament for both players would influence. Montgomery had before the flop to 1.5 million, whereupon Demidov in the big blind re-raises to 4025 million. Montgomery went to all-in with A ♦ ♦ 9 Demidov and immediately called with K K ♦ ♠. The board gave 6 ♦ 4 ♦ 6 ♣ ♠ 3 ♣ 10 and the K's from Demidov was held, so the Russians now with 50 million chips in a unique Chiplead TISSUE could. Montgomery, however, fell to just over 7 million chips back.

This pushed some Hands then later his last chips with A ♦ ♦ 3 in the middle, and was designed by Peter Eastgate with 6 ♥ 6 ♠ gecallt. Until Turn A ♣ Q 4 ♦ A ♠ ♠ everything still looked good for Montgomery, especially after Phillips know that he himself had the 6 ♣ gefoldet had. But like a miracle indeed appeared the 6 ♦ on the River and the pot ruled in favor of Eastgate. Montgomery had, however, with space 5 and $ 3096768 satisfied.

With only 4 players at the table increased the tension continues, and none of the remaining players now wanted to make a decisive mistake. Sooner or later, this error, however, and in this case was the unhappy Ylon Schwartz. Eastgate raised before the flop on 1500000 and Schwartz went with. The flop brought K ♥ ♥ 8 ♠ 2 and both players check. The turn brought the K ♦, Schwartz and check again Eastgate continued 1,750,000th Schwartz called the River brought the 5 ♦ Schwartz and check again. Eastgate sat now 4.6 million, and after a short deliberation Schwartz went with his remaining all-in 11200000. Eastgate called immediately and showed 5 ♣ ♠ 5 for a full house. Schwartz had with A ♥ ♣ only 10 A-high and said goodbye to space 4 ($ 3774974).

Dennis Phillips was now the short stack with just under 20 million, compared with Demidov (52 million) and Eastgate (64 million). Phillips seemed lost their desire to pass on the games, including his last all-in would explain. Eastgate raised before the flop on 1500000 and Phillips went with. The flop brought J 4 ♦ ♣ ♠ 3, Eastgate sat back 1500000 and Phillips went all-in. Eastgate called immediately with 3 ♦ 3 ♣, and Phillips was with 9 ♣ ♥ 10 as well as drawing dead. The A ♠ on the turn sealed his fate, and the trucker from St. Louis, as the favorite in the finals had gone, finished the Main Event 2008 to place $ 3 and Sheehan 4,517,773th

With only 2 players left the final table was interrupted and is now in the course of the day resume. Peter Eastgate starts the heads-up as chip leader with 79500000 in chips, but Ivan Demidov 57725000 still has every chance this event in his favor to decide.

Of course you can find all the details here tomorrow for Heads-Up finals of the 2008 WSOP Main Event Final Tables.

ESPN wants to reporting amateur players respond

  Poker developed in the U.S. TV rates to a true hit. Transfers to the sports channel ESPN viewers drive extraordinarily high quotas. The justification for the keen interest, according to New York Times (NYT) in the dissemination of the pack of cards in the U.S. population and at the used high amounts of money. The driving force of Poker movement in the U.S. since early June, held in Las Vegas' World Series of Poker "http://www.worldseriesofpoker.com, according to ESPN vice president Mike Shapiro without the coverage of the sports broadcaster a" dying Mark "would be.

But not only the sports channel wants to deal with the laurels on the new production and the associated success of the card game on TV decorate. WPT Enterprises, also prides itself as the inventor of the new World Series to act. Especially for television want those responsible to the WPT poker have reinvented. While ESPN was a great broadcaster, but would only use the proposed format.

How much current ESPN for the broadcast rights paid, is unknown. WPT is the last year for TV rights by the former broadcaster Travel Channel to the ten million dollars received. At ESPN, the rates compared with the previous year by 42 percent in the soared. Shapiro believes that the card would know no age limit. The target was not the poker aficionados but amateur player. The World Series is called the Vice-ESPN also as the only mark the Zuseheranzahl a significant week before the screens would attract.

The attractiveness of the poker game for TV broadcasts lies in the structure of the drama. Live transmissions are rare and usually finds the reporting months after the candidate instead. This allows the removal but boring scenes and the proper staging of the highlights.

Operating expenses in the World Series is loud but NYT considerably. 18 cameras are in operation and one person has the task is a particularly interesting table to devote. The duration of a possible encounter perhaps also explains the nature of reporting and the decision to the poker games do not live to be transferred. Because a game can ever to the eight hours. The World Series is still running until 16 July 2005.
