Phil Ivey has been labeled as the greatest poker contender on the planet by many of the top pros. He was born in Riverside, CA and moved to Jersey before reaching turning 1. His grandfather taught Phil one cent-ante 5-Card Stud poker. From then on on, Phil was addicted to poker and wished to pickup anything he could about poker. He routinely told his elders that he was going to be a professional poker player. Phil didn’t permit the adverse comments from other people annihilate his goal of becoming one of the strongest poker competitors on the planet.
He started competing seriously after getting a fake ID by the name of Jerome. He sharpened his game at the poker rooms in Atlantic City. The first number of years for him were a learning opportunity and coming away with a win wasn’t a common thing at the time. He made his mark at the 2000 WSOP when he achieved two final tables and won his first WSOP bracelet, in a two dollar, five hundred Pot-Limit Omaha game. At the last table he defeated a number of the well known pros including but not limited to "Amarillo Slim" Preston, David "Devilfish" Ulliot, and Phil Hellmuth, Jr.
Phil decided to take his game to the successive level and moved out west to Las Vegas. Phil continues to participate in in "The Big Game" at the Bellagio with the best players in the world. Phil credits his success to hard work and an immeasurable passion for the game of poker. Phil states that he is picking up skills every single day and is quite abashed about his achievements. He knows he makes errors every single game of poker and always aspires to improve.
Despite the fact that Phil has won some large tournaments, he likes destroying cash games on a normal basis.
