Devilfish poisons Five Diamond World Poker Classic final table

By Erin Warner

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.
