Phil Ivey has been referred to as the best poker player on the planet by many of the top-ranked pros. Phil was born in Riverside, CA and relocated to Jersey before reaching the age of 1. His grandpa taught him one cent-ante 5-Card Stud poker. From then on on, Phil was hooked on poker and wished to learn everything he possibly could about poker. Phil routinely told his elders that he was planning on being a professional poker player. Phil didn’t permit the detrimental feedback from others kill his dream of becoming one of the strongest poker competitors on the planet.
Phil started competing intently after acquiring a false ID with the name of Jerome. He practiced his skills at the casinos in Atlantic City. The initial number of years for him were a teaching opportunity and coming away with a win was not a common outcome at the time. He made his mark at the 2000 WSOP when he made 2 final tables and came away with his 1st World Series of Poker bracelet, in a $2, five hundred Pot-Limit Omaha match. At the final table he defeated many of the well known pros which includes "Amarillo Slim" Preston, David "Devilfish" Ulliot, and Phil Hellmuth, Jr.
He decided to take his skills to the successive level and headed out west to Sin City. Phil continues to compete in in "The Big Game" at the Bellagio with the best players in the world. Ivey credits his success to dedication and an undying love for poker. He says that he is picking up skills every day and is quite abashed about his accomplishments. He admits to making errors every single session of poker and constantly strives to improve.
Despite the fact that Ivey has won some big-time tournaments, he likes winning cash games on a normal basis.
