Phil Ivey has been branded as the best poker contender on the planet by many of the top professionals. Phil Ivey was born in Riverside, CA and moved to New Jersey before his first birthday. His papa taught him penny-ante Five-Card Stud poker. From that point on, he was hooked on poker and wished to learn whatever he could about poker. He would tell his grandparents that he wanted to be a professional poker player. Phil didn’t permit the detrimental feedback from others annihilate his ambition of being one of the best poker competitors in the world.
Phil began playing intently after acquiring a false ID with the name of Jerome. He practiced his techniques at the casinos in Atlantic City. The initial number of years for him were a learning experience and winning wasn’t a common thing at the time. Phil made his mark at the 2000 WSOP where he achieved two final tables and came away with his first World Series of Poker bracelet, in a $2, five hundred Pot-Limit Omaha match. At the last table he destroyed many of the better known professionals including "Amarillo Slim" Preston, David "Devilfish" Ulliot, and Phil Hellmuth, Jr.
Phil made a decision to take his skills to the successive level and moved out west to Vegas. He continues to compete in in "The Big Game" at the Bellagio with the best players on the planet. Ivey credits his success to dedication and an immeasurable passion for poker. Phil 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 always aspires to get better.
Even though Ivey has won some big tournaments, he favors winning cash games on a regular basis.
