Phil Ivey has been labeled as the best poker contender on the globe by most of the top professionals. Phil Ivey was born in Riverside, CA and relocated to Jersey before his first birthday. His grandpa taught Phil one cent-ante 5-Card Stud poker. From that point on, Phil was addicted to poker and wanted to learn every little thing he possibly could about the game. Phil would tell his elders that he wanted to be a professional poker player. Phil didn’t permit the negative comments from others annihilate his goal of being one of the greatest poker competitors on the planet.
He began playing intently after acquiring a false ID by the name of Jerome. He honed his abilities at the poker rooms in Atlantic City. The first number of years for Phil were a learning period and winning was not a normal outcome at the time. Phil made his mark at the 2000 WSOP when he achieved 2 final tables and came away with his 1st WSOP bracelet, in a two dollar, five hundred Pot-Limit Omaha match. At the closing table he destroyed a number of the well known pros including "Amarillo Slim" Preston, David "Devilfish" Ulliot, and Phil Hellmuth, Jr.
Phil decided to take his game to the next level and headed out west to Vegas. He continues to play in "The Big Game" at the Bellagio with the best players on the planet. Ivey credits his achievements to hard work and an eternal love for poker. Phil states that he is learning every single day and is quite abashed about his accomplishments. He admits to making blunders every single session of poker and always strives to improve.
Despite the fact that Ivey has come first in some large tournaments, he likes destroying money games on a normal basis.
