Phil Ivey has been branded as the best poker player in the world by quite a few of the top-ranked professionals. Phil Ivey was born in Riverside, CA and relocated to Jersey before his first birthday. His grandpa introduced him to penny-ante Five-Card Stud poker. From then on on, he was addicted to poker and wished to pickup everything he possibly could about the game. Phil routinely told his elders that he wanted to be a professional poker player. He did not permit the detrimental comments from others destroy his goal of becoming one of the best poker competitors on the planet.
He started playing seriously after acquiring a fake ID with the name of Jerome. He sharpened his game at the casinos in Atlantic City. The initial few years for Phil were a learning experience and winning wasn’t a regular outcome at the time. He made his mark at the 2000 WSOP where he achieved two final tables and won his first World Series of Poker bracelet, in a $2, five hundred Pot-Limit Omaha event. At the last table he defeated quite a few of the better known professionals which includes "Amarillo Slim" Preston, David "Devilfish" Ulliot, and Phil Hellmuth, Jr.
He made a decision 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 in the world. Phil credits his achievements to hard work and a continuing love for the game of poker. Phil states that he’s picking up skills every day and is very humble about his achievements. Phil admits to making errors every single session of poker and always strives to improve.
Even though Phil has won some large tournaments, he prefers winning cash games on a normal basis.
