A Conversation with the Devilfish and Poker Brat
There's just one table remaining in the "C" Room, but it could very well be the most entertaining left in the tournament thanks to Phil Hellmuth and David "Devilfish" Ulliott. The two have met countless times over the years and could be called friends, albeit it competitive and egotistical ones.
