Phil Ivey has been referred to as the number one poker contender on the planet by many of the top-ranked pros. He was born in Riverside, CA and moved to New Jersey before his first birthday. His grandfather taught him penny-ante Five-Card Stud poker. From then on on, he was addicted to poker and wished to discover everything he possibly could about poker. He would tell his parents that he was planning on being a professional poker player. Phil didn’t permit the negative comments from other people destroy his ambition of becoming one of the greatest poker players on the planet.
He started playing intently after getting a fake ID by the name of Jerome. He honed his skills at the casinos of Atlantic City. The beginning number of years for him were a learning experience and winning wasn’t a regular outcome at the time. Phil became known at the 2000 World Series of Poker where he made 2 final tables and won his 1st WSOP bracelet, in a $2, five hundred Pot-Limit Omaha match. At the last table he destroyed quite a few of the better known professionals including but not limited to "Amarillo Slim" Preston, David "Devilfish" Ulliot, and Phil Hellmuth, Jr.
Phil decided to take his skills to the successive level and headed out west to Sin City. He continues to compete in in "The Big Game" at the Bellagio with the greatest players in the world. Phil credits his achievements to hard work and an undying passion for the game of poker. He states that he is learning every day and is very abashed about his success. He knows he makes errors every single game of poker and always aspires to get better.
Despite the fact that Ivey has won some large tournaments, he favors winning money games on a regular basis.
