Ulliott was set upon by five men and their wives (one of whom slashed his face with a steel comb), after protecting his younger brother.
Ulliott became involved in a safe-cracking team soon after, after being advised by the rest of the team that everyone was involved in the operation, including the shops, which carried out insurance fraud, and the police, who turned a blind eye.
Ulliott's win was watched by over 1,500,000 people (a huge figure for the channel and timeslot of the broadcast) and his character at the table was part of the reason for the renewal of the series, which went on to run for five more series, with Ulliott appearing in them all.

But Dave stole a lot of pots too, got into an early lead and even though the young man crawled back from a 35,000 to 125,000 to only a 60,000 to 100,000 chip deficit, the man from Hull stayed in control most of the time.
Mats was aggressive enough though, like for example when he raised Dave's 10,000 bet all-in to 34,000 on the turn 9758 (Dave folding J8), or when he raised preflop and then moved in against a K33 board.
Dave won three pots in a row, and had the young man severely crippled.
