Phil Ivey has been labeled as the greatest poker contender on the globe by most of the top professionals. Phil Ivey was born in Riverside, CA and moved to NJ before his first birthday. His papa showed him to penny-ante 5-Card Stud poker. From then on on, Phil was hooked on poker and wanted to pickup everything he could about poker. He routinely told his elders that he was planning on being a professional poker player. Phil didn’t permit the adverse feedback from other people kill his ambition of being one of the best poker competitors in the world.
Phil began competing seriously after acquiring a fake ID with the name of Jerome. He honed his abilities at the casinos of Atlantic City. The first number of years for Phil were a learning experience and winning wasn’t a regular outcome at the time. He made his mark at the 2000 WSOP when he achieved 2 final tables and won his 1st WSOP bracelet, in a two dollar, 500 Pot-Limit Omaha game. At the final table he defeated a number of the well known pros including "Amarillo Slim" Preston, David "Devilfish" Ulliot, and Phil Hellmuth, Jr.
Phil decided to take his skills to the successive level and moved out west to Las Vegas. He continues to play in "The Big Game" at the Bellagio with the greatest players on the planet. Ivey credits his achievements to discipline and an eternal love for the game of poker. He says that he’s learning every day and is quite abashed about his achievements. Phil knows he makes errors every single session 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.
