Phil Ivey has been branded as the best poker contender on the planet by many of the top professionals. Phil was born in Riverside, CA and moved to New Jersey before reaching the age of one. His grandpa introduced him to one cent-ante Five-Card Stud poker. From that point on, Phil was addicted to poker and wanted to discover anything he possibly could about poker. He routinely told his grandparents that he wanted to be a professional poker player. He did not permit the adverse feedback from others annihilate his dream of being one of the best poker players on the planet.
Phil began competing intently after acquiring a false ID by the name of Jerome. He practiced his abilities at the poker rooms in Atlantic City. The first number of years for him were a learning opportunity and winning wasn’t a common outcome at the time. Phil became known at the 2000 World Series of Poker when he made 2 final tables and won his 1st WSOP bracelet, in a $2, 500 Pot-Limit Omaha game. At the last 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 next level and headed out west to Las Vegas. Phil continues to play in "The Big Game" at the Bellagio with the best players in the world. Ivey credits his success to discipline and a continuing love for poker. He says that he is picking up skills every single day and is incredibly humble about his accomplishments. He knows he makes mistakes in each game of poker and constantly aspires to get better.
Despite the fact that Phil has won some big tournaments, he likes destroying money games on a normal basis.
