UK poker legend Dave ‘Devilfish’ Ulliott is to star in a new five-part reality series on ITV Wales starting this Thursday (Setember 4th, 2008) at 22:35p.m. The show, called ‘How to Become a Poker Millionaire’, takes four losing poker players and gives them an intensive month of training with Devilfish.

Each week one of novices is eliminated and at the end of the series the winner receives a seat at the 2009 World Series of Poker in Las Vegas.

The first episode follows Devilfish as he meets the players and begins to put them through their paces. Throughout the series viewers will be treated to interviews with Devilfish’s friends, including some of the top poker players in the world who have won 34 WSOP bracelets and over $100 million dollars between them.

Ulliott, who has millions of dollars of tournament winnings under his own belt as well as WSOP and World Poker Tour titles to his name, said, “Poker players won’t have seen anything like this before. It was a real boot camp for the participants and I took no prisoners. There’s laughter and tears, good poker and bad poker, and viewers will get to learn many of the tricks of the high-stakes poker trade which took me years and a lot of money to learn.”

‘How to Become a Poker Millionaire’ will hopefully be broadcast across other regions soon but in the meantime it will be available on the internet at sites such as pokertube.com
