Poker in the Park (20 August 2010). Retrieved on 15 December 2010.</ref> The book was favourably reviewed by journalist and poker player [[Victoria Coren]] in ''[[The Observer]]'', who said, "I was nervous to review it, in case it was bad. Dave Ulliott is a friend of mine. And he has a gun. But I needn't have worried. The book is, like the man, fast, funny, scary, smart, cocky, colourful, and I adore them both." She recounted her first meeting with Ulliott: <blockquote>In the winter of 1999, on the sixth floor of a Cardiff hotel, I walked into a lift to find it already occupied by an elderly couple and a tall, sinister-looking fellow in a black leather trench coat and red sunglasses. "The Devilfish!" I breathed. "Can I hold your bracelet?" Without a word, the shady gentleman slipped a heavy gold bracelet off his wrist and jingled it into my hand. The elderly couple must have thought we were both insane.<ref>{{cite news |last=Coren |first=Victoria |author-link=Victoria Coren Mitchell |date=29 August 2010 |title=Devilfish: The Life and Times of a Poker Legend by Dave Ulliot |url=https://www.theguardian.com/books/2010/aug/28/review-dave-ulliot-poker-devilfish-victoria-coren |access-date=21 September 2024 |work=The Guardian}}</ref> </blockquote>
