Phil Ivey has been branded as the number one poker player on the planet by most of the top pros. Phil Ivey was born in Riverside, CA and relocated to NJ before reaching turning one. His papa taught him one cent-ante 5-Card Stud poker. From that point on, Phil was addicted to poker and wanted to learn anything he could about the game. He routinely told his parents that he was planning on being a professional poker player. He did not allow the adverse feedback from others annihilate his dream of being one of the strongest poker competitors in the world.
Phil began playing intently after acquiring a false ID with the name of Jerome. He practiced his skills at the poker rooms in Atlantic City. The initial number of years for Phil were a teaching experience and coming away with a win was not a common thing at the time. He made his mark at the 2000 WSOP where he made two final tables and came away with his first WSOP bracelet, in a $2, five hundred Pot-Limit Omaha match. At the last table he defeated quite a few of the well known professionals which includes "Amarillo Slim" Preston, David "Devilfish" Ulliot, and Phil Hellmuth, Jr.
He decided to take his skills to the next level and moved out west to Las Vegas. He continues to participate in in "The Big Game" at the Bellagio with the best players in the world. Phil credits his success to dedication and an immeasurable passion for poker. Phil says that he’s learning every single day and is very abashed about his accomplishments. Phil admits to making errors every single game of poker and constantly aspires to get better.
Despite the fact that Ivey has won some large tournaments, he likes destroying money games on a normal basis.
