Phil Ivey has been labeled as the best poker contender on the globe by quite a few of the top-ranked professionals. Phil Ivey was born in Riverside, CA and relocated to Jersey before reaching the age of one. His grandfather taught Phil penny-ante Five-Card Stud poker. From that point on, Phil was addicted to poker and wanted to discover anything he could about poker. Phil routinely told his grandparents that he wanted to be a professional poker player. He did not let the adverse feedback from others destroy his dream of being one of the strongest poker players on the planet.
He began playing intently after acquiring a fake ID by the name of Jerome. He sharpened his game at the casinos of Atlantic City. The initial few years for Phil were a teaching period and winning wasn’t a regular thing at the time. Phil became known 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, 500 Pot-Limit Omaha match. At the final table he destroyed many of the better known professionals including but not limited to "Amarillo Slim" Preston, David "Devilfish" Ulliot, and Phil Hellmuth, Jr.
He made a decision to take his skills to the next level and moved out west to Sin City. Phil 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 undying love for the game of poker. He says that he’s learning every single day and is quite humble about his achievements. Phil admits to making blunders every single game of poker and constantly strives to get better.
Despite the fact that Ivey has come first in some big tournaments, he likes winning money games on a regular basis.
