Phil Ivey has been branded as the greatest poker player on the globe by most of the top-ranked pros. Phil was born in Riverside, CA and moved to New Jersey before reaching the age of one. His papa taught Phil penny-ante 5-Card Stud poker. From then on on, Phil was hooked on poker and wished to learn every little thing he possibly could about poker. Phil routinely told his grandparents that he was going to be a professional poker player. Phil didn’t permit the detrimental feedback from other people kill his goal of becoming one of the strongest poker competitors on the planet.
He started playing intently after acquiring a false ID with the name of Jerome. He honed his skills at the casinos in Atlantic City. The initial number of years for him were a learning experience and winning was not a common outcome at the time. Phil made his mark at the 2000 World Series of Poker when he achieved 2 final tables and came away with his 1st WSOP bracelet, in a $2, five hundred Pot-Limit Omaha match. At the final table he defeated a number of the well known pros including but not limited to "Amarillo Slim" Preston, David "Devilfish" Ulliot, and Phil Hellmuth, Jr.
Phil decided to take his skills to the next level and moved out west to Las Vegas. Phil continues to participate in in "The Big Game" at the Bellagio with the greatest players on the planet. Ivey credits his success to discipline and an immeasurable passion for poker. Phil says that he is picking up skills every single day and is incredibly abashed about his accomplishments. Phil knows he makes blunders in each game of poker and constantly aspires to improve.
Despite the fact that Ivey has won some big tournaments, he likes winning money games on a normal basis.
