Des Wilson, a prolific writer who has written for The Guardian, New Statesman, Spectator and Observer, has put together a revealing book about one of Britain’s top poker players, Dave ‘The Devilfish’ Ulliott.

The Devilfish is one of the most feared poker players on the global poker circuit and started playing poker at the young age of sixteen. He started out as a working-class man and petty criminal (he even spent his twenty-first birthday behind bars). He then became a pawnbroker in Hull before turning his gambling hobby into a lucrative professional career. In poker terms, he was the first British poker player to win the US $500,000 poker event.

This poker book is very special in that it uncovers the extraordinary world of a British professional poker player. Filled with stories about other UK top poker professionals, this is the perfect poker book for anyone who is interested in the rise of the game of poker and the growth in the number of professional poker players.

Whether you know of the Devilfish or not, if you are interested in what it is like to get to the top in professional poker, and stay there, then this is an inspiring read.
