Phil Ivey has been branded as the best poker contender on the globe by many of the top professionals. Phil was born in Riverside, CA and moved to New Jersey before reaching the age of 1. His papa taught him one cent-ante Five-Card Stud poker. From then on on, he was hooked on poker and wished to learn anything he could about poker. He routinely told his parents that he was going to be a professional poker player. He didn’t permit the adverse comments from others annihilate his goal of being one of the greatest poker players in the world.
He began competing intently after getting a fake ID by the name of Jerome. He practiced his abilities at the poker rooms in Atlantic City. The first number of years for Phil were a learning opportunity and coming away with a win wasn’t a common outcome at the time. He became known at the 2000 World Series of Poker where he achieved 2 final tables and won his first WSOP bracelet, in a two dollar, 500 Pot-Limit Omaha event. At the last table he defeated quite a few of the better known professionals including "Amarillo Slim" Preston, David "Devilfish" Ulliot, and Phil Hellmuth, Jr.
Phil decided to take his skills to the successive level and headed out west to Las Vegas. He continues to play in "The Big Game" at the Bellagio with the best players on the planet. Phil credits his achievements to hard work and a continuing passion for poker. He states that he’s picking up skills every day and is incredibly humble about his success. He knows he makes blunders in each game of poker and always aspires to improve.
Despite the fact that Ivey has come first in some large tournaments, he likes winning money games on a normal basis.
