Phil Ivey has been branded as the greatest poker contender on the globe by most of the top pros. Phil Ivey was born in Riverside, CA and relocated to NJ before his first birthday. His grandfather taught him penny-ante Five-Card Stud poker. From then on on, Phil was addicted to poker and wished to learn every little thing he possibly could about poker. He routinely would tell his elders that he was planning on being a professional poker player. Phil didn’t let the detrimental comments from other people annihilate his dream of being one of the greatest poker players in the world.
Phil began playing intently after getting a false ID with the name of Jerome. He practiced his skills at the casinos of Atlantic City. The first number of years for Phil were a teaching experience and winning was not a normal outcome at the time. He became known at the 2000 World Series of Poker where he achieved 2 final tables and came away with his 1st World Series of Poker bracelet, in a $2, five hundred Pot-Limit Omaha game. At the closing table he destroyed a number of the well known professionals including but not limited to "Amarillo Slim" Preston, David "Devilfish" Ulliot, and Phil Hellmuth, Jr.
He made a decision to take his skills to the successive level and moved out west to Las Vegas. He continues to participate in in "The Big Game" at the Bellagio with the greatest players on the planet. Phil credits his success to hard work and an undying passion for poker. He says that he is learning every day and is very abashed about his achievements. He admits to making errors every single game of poker and always aspires to get better.
Despite the fact that Phil has won some big tournaments, he favors destroying money games on a normal basis.
