Phil Ivey has been referred to as the number one poker competitor on the planet by quite a few of the top-ranked professionals. Phil Ivey was born in Riverside, CA and relocated to New Jersey before his first birthday. His papa taught Phil one cent-ante 5-Card Stud poker. From that point on, he was addicted to poker and wished to pickup whatever he possibly could about the game. He routinely told his parents that he was planning on being a professional poker player. Phil didn’t permit the detrimental comments from others destroy his ambition of being one of the greatest poker competitors in the world.
Phil started competing intently after getting a fake ID by the name of Jerome. He practiced his techniques at the poker rooms in Atlantic City. The first number of years for him were a teaching period and winning wasn’t a regular thing at the time. He became known at the 2000 World Series of Poker where he achieved two final tables and won his 1st World Series of Poker bracelet, in a two dollar, 500 Pot-Limit Omaha event. At the last table he defeated many of the well 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 Vegas. He continues to participate in in "The Big Game" at the Bellagio with the greatest players on the planet. Ivey credits his success to dedication and an eternal love for the game of poker. Phil states that he is picking up skills every single day and is incredibly abashed about his accomplishments. Phil admits to making errors in each session of poker and constantly strives to get better.
Despite the fact that Ivey has come first in some large tournaments, he favors destroying money games on a normal basis.
