Phil Ivey has been referred to as the best poker contender on the globe by many of the top-ranked professionals. Phil was born in Riverside, CA and moved to Jersey before reaching turning one. His grandpa introduced him to one cent-ante 5-Card Stud poker. From then on on, he was addicted to poker and wished to pickup every little thing he could about the game. He routinely told his elders that he wanted to be a professional poker player. He did not permit the detrimental feedback from other people destroy his ambition of becoming one of the greatest poker players on the planet.
Phil started competing seriously after acquiring a fake ID with the name of Jerome. He honed his skills at the casinos of Atlantic City. The first few years for him were a learning opportunity and coming away with a win was not a normal outcome at the time. He made his mark at the 2000 World Series of Poker where he achieved 2 final tables and won his first World Series of Poker bracelet, in a two dollar, five hundred Pot-Limit Omaha game. At the closing table he destroyed quite a few of the well known pros including but not limited to "Amarillo Slim" Preston, David "Devilfish" Ulliot, and Phil Hellmuth, Jr.
He made a decision to take his game to the successive level and headed out west to Las Vegas. Phil continues to play in "The Big Game" at the Bellagio with the greatest players on the planet. Phil credits his success to dedication and an immeasurable passion for the game of poker. He says that he is picking up skills every single day and is incredibly humble about his achievements. Phil knows he makes blunders every single session of poker and constantly strives to get better.
Despite the fact that Phil has come first in some big-time tournaments, he likes winning cash games on a normal basis.
