Phil Ivey has been referred to as the best poker contender on the planet by quite a few of the top pros. Phil Ivey was born in Riverside, CA and relocated to NJ before his first birthday. His papa introduced him to penny-ante 5-Card Stud poker. From then on on, Phil was hooked on poker and wished to pickup whatever he possibly could about poker. He routinely told his parents that he was going to be a professional poker player. Phil did not allow the negative feedback from other people destroy his ambition of being one of the greatest poker players in the world.
He started competing seriously after getting a fake ID by the name of Jerome. He honed his abilities at the casinos in Atlantic City. The initial number of years for him were a learning period and coming away with a win wasn’t a common thing at the time. He made his mark at the 2000 World Series of Poker where he made two final tables and won his 1st World Series of Poker bracelet, in a $2, five hundred Pot-Limit Omaha event. At the final table he destroyed a number of the well known professionals including "Amarillo Slim" Preston, David "Devilfish" Ulliot, and Phil Hellmuth, Jr.
He made a decision to take his game 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. Ivey credits his achievements to discipline and an immeasurable passion for poker. He states that he’s picking up skills every day and is quite abashed about his success. He admits to making blunders in each game of poker and constantly aspires to get better.
Despite the fact that Ivey has come first in some big-time tournaments, he favors winning cash games on a normal basis.
