Devilfish Takes Centre Stage at Oxford Union

Dave “Devilfish” Ulliott, ambassador for DevilfishPoker.com and UK poker legend, is set to go where only the greatest of people and figures (such as Albert Einstein, Richard Nixon, Mother Teresa, the Dalai Lama, Diego Maradonna, W.B. Yeats, and Kermit the Frog) have gone before. This weekend Ulliott will perform a question and answer session with students, based on poker and his career at the world renowned Oxford Union.

The debate begins at 8.30 p.m. on Sat., May 16, three weeks before the Oxford Cup kicks off on Jun. 7. The Cup, which is in its eighth year, coincides with the launch of the UK Student Poker Federation, and tickets cost £20, which includes entry to the Devilfish Q&A at the Oxford Union.

David Ulliott says, “As a hard working graduate of the University of Life, it’s a real honour to be asked to speak at the Union where some of the great minds and talents of the last 200 years have gone before. Poker is a complex game that suits brilliant thinkers like me and while I don’t know most of the people who have spoken there over the years I’m a big fan of Kermit the Frog and to take to the same stage as him is humbling. After the debate I’m off to speak to the BBC World Service and I expect the United Nations will probably want me next week.”

Elsewhere, DevilfishPoker.com’s Final Table from Hell finale is due to play out tonight. The winners of five previous bounty tournaments will compete with Devilfish for the top prize of €1,000. The online poker site is also currently offering seats to the World Series of Poker in its Road to Las Vegas promotion.
