The Name's Bond, Devilfish Bond

As I was hovering over Devilfish's table awaiting an all-in like a blood-thirsty vulture, three members of the camera crew came charging over and announced that they would be focusing their attention on this table for a while.

Another chap then pulled out a roving camera, and informed the table that after certain hands, they would be asked to show their hand to the mobile camera. "It'll only take thirty seconds," he explained. "We'll put the camera down on the felt and you just show the hand to the camera as if you were checking your cards."

If that wasn't enough, he then asked every player to turn to the camera and say their name. As the camera found its way to the Devilfish, the former safe-cracker said with a wink, "The name's Bond, James Bond."

Well, I guess Devilfish would make a good secret agent, he does love the ladies and he's cucumber cool, but his choice of attire and lack of a low profile may let him down.
