Phil Ivey has been branded as the number one poker competitor on the globe by quite a few of the top professionals. He was born in Riverside, CA and moved to New Jersey before his first birthday. His grandpa taught him penny-ante 5-Card Stud poker. From that point on, he was addicted to poker and wished to pickup everything he possibly could about poker. He would tell his parents that he was going to be a professional poker player. He didn’t allow the detrimental feedback from other people kill his ambition of being one of the greatest poker competitors on the planet.
Phil started competing intently after acquiring a false ID by the name of Jerome. He practiced his skills at the poker rooms in Atlantic City. The first number of years for Phil were a teaching opportunity and coming away with a win was not a normal thing at the time. Phil became known at the 2000 WSOP when he achieved 2 final tables and came away with his 1st World Series of Poker bracelet, in a $2, five hundred Pot-Limit Omaha event. At the last table he destroyed quite a few of the well known pros including "Amarillo Slim" Preston, David "Devilfish" Ulliot, and Phil Hellmuth, Jr.
He made a decision to take his skills to the next level and moved out west to Sin City. Phil continues to compete in in "The Big Game" at the Bellagio with the greatest players on the planet. Phil credits his achievements to hard work and a continuing love for the game of poker. Phil says that he is picking up skills every single day and is quite humble about his success. Phil knows he makes errors every single game of poker and always aspires to get better.
Despite the fact that Phil has come first in some large tournaments, he likes destroying money games on a normal basis.
