Phil Ivey has been labeled as the best poker player on the globe by many of the top-ranked professionals. Phil was born in Riverside, CA and relocated to New Jersey before his first birthday. His grandfather taught Phil penny-ante Five-Card Stud poker. From then on on, Phil was addicted to poker and wished to learn every little thing he possibly could about poker. He routinely would tell his grandparents that he wanted to be a professional poker player. Phil didn’t permit the adverse feedback from other people annihilate his dream of becoming one of the strongest poker players on the planet.
Phil began playing seriously after getting a false ID by the name of Jerome. He sharpened his techniques at the casinos in Atlantic City. The initial number of years for him were a teaching period and coming away with a win was not a regular thing 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, 500 Pot-Limit Omaha event. At the final table he defeated quite a few of the better known professionals which includes "Amarillo Slim" Preston, David "Devilfish" Ulliot, and Phil Hellmuth, Jr.
Phil made a decision to take his game to the successive level and moved out west to Sin City. He continues to play in "The Big Game" at the Bellagio with the greatest players on the planet. Ivey credits his achievements to hard work and an immeasurable love for poker. He states that he is picking up skills every day and is incredibly humble about his accomplishments. He knows he makes blunders every single game of poker and constantly strives to improve.
Despite the fact that Ivey has come first in some big tournaments, he prefers destroying money games on a normal basis.
