Five-part series follows the Devilfish as he trains four losing poker players, only one of whom will win a seat at the World Series of Poker; the show premiers Thursday Sept. 4 on ITV Wales.

UK poker legend Dave “Devilfish” Ulliott is the star of a new five-part series “How to Become a Poker Millionaire” which premieres on ITV Wales this Thursday Sept. 4, 2008 at 10.35 p.m. The 30-minute shows take four losing poker players and gives them an intensive month of training by the Devilfish.

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

The first show 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 — 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.”

The series is produced by John Giwa-Amu and Caradog James of Red & Black Films who are building on their seven years industry experience and BAFTA success with one of the most innovative poker TV shows ever produced.

This TV coverage over the next few weeks, will provide even greater opportunities for affiliates to attract new players as a result of the interest and increased awareness created by this show.

It’s week two of the “How to Become a Poker Millionaire” challenge where UK poker legend Dave “Devilfish” Ulliott takes four losing poker players and tries to turn them into winners. But only one will survive and claim the World Series of Poker seat.

Last week the contestants were tested on their natural abilities to see if they were lucky, smart and had strong minds. This week, the contestants are going online for the first time to play for real cash. The Devilfish teaches them poker “tells” which are complex observations that let players know what cards their opponents are holding, and take a lifetime to master. Meanwhile, some of the contestants are struggling with the Devilfish’s rules. And the first player is eliminated from the competition.

The show is a must see for any poker fan and is great entartainment even if you aren't!

Six months after the challenge we meet the finalists to see if they are now winning players and discover the world of “proposition bets”; Episode five airs Thursday, Oct. 2 at 10.35 p.m. on ITV Wales

It’s the final week of the “How to Become a Poker Millionaire” challenge where UK poker legend Dave “Devilfish” Ulliott takes four losing poker players and tries to turn them into winners. But only one survived to claim the World Series of Poker seat.

Last week we saw the final two contestants play head-to-head in a final that put all they’ve learnt to the test. This week we catch up with them six months after the challenge and find out how they’ve been fairing on the internet and if they’ve managed to make money without the Devilfish’s tuition.

We discover which rules most improved their play and how they’ve applied them to making money on the internet. We also meet one of the most groundbreaking poker companies on the internet which is amassing a huge army of poker players that makes them money day and night.

We also hear some of the wild and hilarious “proposition bets” that poker players make when the stress of high stakes poker becomes too much, including one in which a man stands to lose $350,000 if he doesn’t lose weight each month for the next three years.

Also, don't forget the huge bonuses available to players at Devilfish Poker; new players can pick up a sinfully generous 150% bonus up to €666 with their first deposit. And, until 31st October, if you manage to work through your first deposit you can collect a 100% up to €1,000 re-load bonus!
