Phil Ivey has been labeled as the number one poker competitor on the planet by most of the top-ranked professionals. Phil Ivey was born in Riverside, CA and relocated to New Jersey before reaching the age of one. His papa taught him penny-ante Five-Card Stud poker. From that point on, he was addicted to poker and wished to pickup everything he possibly could about poker. Phil routinely told his grandparents that he was going to be a professional poker player. He did not allow the negative comments from others annihilate his goal of being one of the strongest poker competitors in the world.
Phil started playing seriously after acquiring a fake ID with the name of Jerome. He sharpened his skills at the casinos in Atlantic City. The beginning few years for Phil were a teaching period and winning was not a common outcome 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 match. At the final table he defeated many of the better known pros 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 Las Vegas. Phil continues to participate in in "The Big Game" at the Bellagio with the greatest players in the world. Ivey credits his success to dedication and an eternal love for the game of poker. He says that he’s picking up skills every single day and is quite abashed about his achievements. He admits to making mistakes every single game of poker and always aspires to get better.
Despite the fact that Phil has won some big-time tournaments, he prefers destroying money games on a normal basis.
