Phil Ivey has been branded as the best poker player on the globe by many of the top pros. Phil was born in Riverside, CA and relocated to NJ before reaching turning one. His papa taught him one cent-ante Five-Card Stud poker. From that point on, he was hooked on poker and wanted to learn whatever he could about the game. Phil routinely told his elders that he wanted to be a professional poker player. Phil did not let the detrimental comments from others annihilate his dream of being one of the greatest poker players on the planet.
He began playing seriously after getting a fake ID by the name of Jerome. He honed his skills at the poker rooms of Atlantic City. The initial few years for Phil were a learning period and winning was not a common thing at the time. Phil became known at the 2000 WSOP when he made 2 final tables and came away with his 1st World Series of Poker bracelet, in a two dollar, five hundred Pot-Limit Omaha event. 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.
Phil made a decision to take his skills to the next level and moved out west to Sin City. Phil continues to compete in in "The Big Game" at the Bellagio with the best players on the planet. Phil credits his success to discipline and an immeasurable love for poker. Phil states that he’s picking up skills every single day and is very abashed about his success. He admits to making blunders every single game of poker and constantly aspires to get better.
Even though Phil has won some big tournaments, he likes destroying cash games on a regular basis.
