Two stories from the lands of partypoker with partypoker TV screening a Dave’ Devilfish’ Ulliot documentary, and Patrick Leonard earning $100k+ on PokerStars during a mighty fine festive period. 

It’s funny how life deals you a hand. One minute, I’m drunk, sitting in front of the idiot box, watching in awe, as this wizard-like wordsmith tantalises the table on Late Night Poker, and then I’m sitting in a swanky restaurant on the Champs-Élysées wishing he’d tone it down a tad.

That wasn’t his bag.

Dave ‘Devilfish’ Ulliot was the type of man who emerged from a coal mine without a speck of dirt on his frame, singing like the canary in the cage.
