Phil Ivey has been branded as the greatest poker player on the globe by quite a few of the top-ranked pros. Phil was born in Riverside, CA and moved to NJ before his first birthday. His grandpa introduced him to one cent-ante 5-Card Stud poker. From that point on, Phil was addicted to poker and wished to learn whatever he possibly could about the game. Phil routinely told his grandparents that he wanted to be a professional poker player. He did not allow the detrimental feedback from other people kill his ambition of being one of the strongest poker competitors in the world.
He began competing intently after getting a fake ID by the name of Jerome. He sharpened his game at the poker rooms of Atlantic City. The initial few years for him were a teaching opportunity and winning wasn’t a regular thing at the time. He became known at the 2000 WSOP when he achieved 2 final tables and came away with his first World Series of Poker bracelet, in a $2, five hundred Pot-Limit Omaha match. At the closing table he defeated quite a few of the well known pros including "Amarillo Slim" Preston, David "Devilfish" Ulliot, and Phil Hellmuth, Jr.
He decided to take his game to the successive level and headed out west to Sin City. He continues to compete in in "The Big Game" at the Bellagio with the greatest players on the planet. Phil credits his success to dedication and an eternal passion for the game of poker. Phil states that he’s learning every single day and is quite humble about his success. He admits to making mistakes every single game of poker and constantly aspires to improve.
Despite the fact that Phil has come first in some big-time tournaments, he prefers winning money games on a regular basis.
