Phil Ivey has been referred to as the number one poker competitor on the planet by many of the top-ranked pros. Phil Ivey was born in Riverside, CA and moved to New Jersey before reaching the age of 1. His papa taught him penny-ante Five-Card Stud poker. From then on on, Phil was addicted to poker and wanted to discover anything he could about the game. He routinely would tell his grandparents that he wanted to be a professional poker player. He did not let the negative feedback from other people kill his ambition of becoming one of the strongest poker players on the planet.
He started competing seriously after getting a false ID with the name of Jerome. He practiced his skills at the casinos of Atlantic City. The initial number of years for Phil were a teaching experience and coming away with a win was not a normal thing at the time. He made his mark at the 2000 World Series of Poker when he made two final tables and came away with his first World Series of Poker bracelet, in a two dollar, five hundred Pot-Limit Omaha event. At the last table he destroyed a number of the better 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 Vegas. He continues to participate in in "The Big Game" at the Bellagio with the greatest players on the planet. Phil credits his success to hard work and an immeasurable passion for poker. He says that he’s learning every single day and is quite abashed about his accomplishments. He knows he makes blunders in each session of poker and always aspires to get better.
Despite the fact that Phil has come first in some big-time tournaments, he prefers destroying cash games on a regular basis.
