Phil Ivey has been labeled as the number one poker competitor on the planet by many of the top pros. Phil Ivey was born in Riverside, CA and moved to NJ before reaching turning one. His papa introduced him to penny-ante Five-Card Stud poker. From then on on, Phil was hooked on poker and wished to discover every little thing he possibly could about the game. He routinely told his parents that he wanted to be a professional poker player. He didn’t let the negative comments from other people annihilate his dream of becoming one of the strongest poker players on the planet.
He began playing intently after acquiring a false ID by the name of Jerome. He sharpened his abilities at the casinos of Atlantic City. The initial few years for Phil were a teaching period and coming away with a win wasn’t a common outcome at the time. He became known at the 2000 World Series of Poker when he achieved two final tables and won his first WSOP bracelet, in a two dollar, five hundred Pot-Limit Omaha event. At the last table he defeated many of the better known professionals including "Amarillo Slim" Preston, David "Devilfish" Ulliot, and Phil Hellmuth, Jr.
Phil decided to take his skills to the successive level and headed out west to 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 hard work and an eternal love for poker. Phil says that he is picking up skills every single day and is quite humble about his accomplishments. Phil admits to making errors every single session of poker and always aspires to improve.
Even though Phil has won some large tournaments, he likes winning cash games on a regular basis.
