Not the best hand to be dealt....
He was one of the main reasons I started watching Late Night Poker....
I didn"t start playing until years later but tried to watch as much as I could with him involved...

All the best to Dave. Met him a few times, most recently when he knocked me out in the final 40 of the ISPT. Brings a real charisma and sense of fun to the table. Absolutely hilarious in fact. Pretty mean guitar player too. Get well soon.

Never met him but I bought and read his book. The game needs characters, GWS Devilfish.

According to his book today is his Birthday.

Spent some time with him in St Kitts, and was entertained by his guitar playing.

Hope he can get the right result here.

Sad...Dave was without doubt responsible for introducing a lot of UK players into the game.

RIP Devilfish.
