Devilfish poisons Five Diamond World Poker Classic final table

David "Devilfish" Ulliott proved his pro status at the Five Diamond World Poker Classic in Las Vegas this weekend, taking down a final table to win $266,000.

The $2,000 No-Limit Hold'em event also gave the English player a World Poker Classic gold bracelet and a seat at the $25,000 World Poker Tour finals in April.

Going into the final table at the Bellagio Hotel and Casino Dec. 2, David Ulliott held a table-leading 192,000 chips. Competition - which included pros Brad "Yukon" Booth and Noah Boeken - fell away from the table, eventually leaving John Strzemp and Ulliot to battle it out.

Following a lengthy period of heads-up play, both players moved all-in with aces, Ulliott with the stronger kicker. Strzemp had no luck on the turn and the river, handing the title and prize money to Ulliott.

Strzemp earned $149,000 for his efforts.
