Phil Ivey has been branded as the best poker contender on the planet by quite a few of the top-ranked pros. He was born in Riverside, CA and moved to NJ before reaching turning one. His papa taught Phil one cent-ante Five-Card Stud poker. From that point on, he was addicted to poker and wanted to discover whatever he possibly could about poker. Phil routinely told his elders that he wanted to be a professional poker player. Phil didn’t allow the adverse feedback from other people kill his dream of being one of the strongest poker competitors on the planet.
He began playing seriously after acquiring a fake ID by the name of Jerome. He sharpened his game at the casinos of Atlantic City. The initial number of years for Phil were a learning opportunity and coming away with a win wasn’t a common outcome at the time. He made his mark at the 2000 WSOP where he achieved two final tables and came away with his first WSOP bracelet, in a $2, 500 Pot-Limit Omaha match. At the final table he defeated quite a few of the better known pros which includes "Amarillo Slim" Preston, David "Devilfish" Ulliot, and Phil Hellmuth, Jr.
Phil made a decision to take his skills to the successive level and headed out west to Las Vegas. Phil continues to compete in in "The Big Game" at the Bellagio with the greatest players in the world. Phil credits his achievements to dedication and an undying passion for the game of poker. Phil states that he is picking up skills every day and is quite humble about his accomplishments. He knows he makes errors in each game of poker and always aspires to get better.
Despite the fact that Phil has come first in some large tournaments, he prefers winning money games on a regular basis.
