Phil Ivey has been branded as the greatest poker competitor on the globe by most of the top-ranked pros. Phil was born in Riverside, CA and moved to Jersey before his first birthday. His grandfather taught him penny-ante 5-Card Stud poker. From then on on, Phil was hooked on poker and wished to pickup everything he could about the game. He routinely told his grandparents that he was going to be a professional poker player. Phil did not allow the detrimental feedback from other people annihilate his goal of becoming one of the greatest poker players on the planet.
Phil started competing intently after getting 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 experience and winning wasn’t a regular outcome at the time. Phil made his mark at the 2000 World Series of Poker when he achieved two final tables and won his 1st World Series of Poker bracelet, in a $2, five hundred Pot-Limit Omaha event. At the closing table he destroyed a number of the better known pros including "Amarillo Slim" Preston, David "Devilfish" Ulliot, and Phil Hellmuth, Jr.
Phil decided to take his game to the next level and moved out west to Vegas. He continues to participate in in "The Big Game" at the Bellagio with the greatest players on the planet. Phil credits his achievements to discipline and an undying love for the game of poker. Phil states that he is learning every day and is quite humble about his accomplishments. Phil admits to making blunders in each game of poker and constantly aspires to improve.
Despite the fact that Phil has won some big tournaments, he favors winning money games on a normal basis.
