Phil Ivey has been labeled as the number one poker contender on the globe by quite a few of the top professionals. He was born in Riverside, CA and relocated to Jersey before reaching the age of 1. His papa introduced him to penny-ante Five-Card Stud poker. From that point on, Phil was hooked on poker and wanted to pickup anything he could about the game. He routinely would tell his parents that he was planning on being a professional poker player. Phil did not permit the detrimental feedback from others kill his goal of becoming one of the best poker players on the planet.
He started playing seriously after acquiring a false ID with the name of Jerome. He sharpened his skills at the poker rooms of Atlantic City. The first few years for Phil were a learning period and coming away with a win wasn’t a normal outcome at the time. Phil made his mark at the 2000 WSOP where he achieved 2 final tables and won his 1st WSOP bracelet, in a two dollar, five hundred Pot-Limit Omaha event. At the closing table he destroyed quite a few of the better known pros which includes "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 Sin City. He continues to compete in in "The Big Game" at the Bellagio with the greatest players on the planet. Phil credits his success to dedication and a continuing love for the game of poker. Phil states that he is picking up skills every day and is quite abashed about his accomplishments. Phil admits to making errors 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 destroying money games on a regular basis.
