Phil Ivey has been branded as the greatest poker contender on the globe by most of the top-ranked pros. Phil Ivey was born in Riverside, CA and relocated to Jersey before reaching the age of 1. His grandfather showed him to one cent-ante 5-Card Stud poker. From then on on, Phil was hooked on poker and wanted to pickup whatever he could about poker. He would tell his parents that he was going to be a professional poker player. He didn’t allow the detrimental feedback from other people destroy his ambition of being one of the best poker players on the planet.
He began playing intently after acquiring a false ID by the name of Jerome. He practiced his skills at the casinos of Atlantic City. The first number of years for Phil were a learning opportunity and winning was not a regular thing at the time. He made his mark at the 2000 World Series of Poker when he made two final tables and won his 1st WSOP bracelet, in a two dollar, 500 Pot-Limit Omaha game. At the last table he defeated a number of the well known pros which includes "Amarillo Slim" Preston, David "Devilfish" Ulliot, and Phil Hellmuth, Jr.
He decided to take his game to the successive level and moved out west to Sin City. He continues to play in "The Big Game" at the Bellagio with the greatest players on the planet. Phil credits his achievements to dedication and an immeasurable love for poker. Phil says that he is picking up skills every single day and is very abashed about his achievements. He admits to making errors in each game of poker and constantly aspires to get better.
Despite the fact that Ivey has won some big tournaments, he prefers winning cash games on a regular basis.
