Poker Pro Speaks at Oxford Union
13th May, 2009
This weekend will see one of Poker’s greatest living players, Dave ‘Devilfish’ Ulliott, address the world famous Oxford Union. Founded in 1823, the Oxford Union is a debating and educational society where speakers take a ‘question and answer session’, with an audience usually consisting of students.
Ambassador for DevilfishPoker.com Dave Ulliott, will join a prestigious group of people that have spoken at the Union before him, including Mother Teresa, the Dalai Lama, President Richard Nixon, Winston Churchill and Albert Einstein.
According to Mr Ulliottt, he will be speaking about the game that made him famous and his professional life, as well as answering questions on the complexity of poker and the personal management of a successful career.
He said, "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."
The talk will take place on Saturday May 16th at 8.30pm at the Oxford Union Society.
