Phil Ivey has been referred to as the number one poker competitor on the globe by many of the top-ranked pros. Phil Ivey was born in Riverside, CA and moved to Jersey before reaching turning one. His papa taught Phil penny-ante Five-Card Stud poker. From then on on, he was hooked on poker and wanted to pickup everything he could about poker. He routinely would tell his grandparents that he wanted to be a professional poker player. Phil did not allow the detrimental comments from other people kill his ambition of being one of the best poker players on the planet.
Phil started playing intently after acquiring a false ID by the name of Jerome. He practiced his skills at the poker rooms of Atlantic City. The first few years for him were a teaching period and coming away with a win was not a regular outcome at the time. He made his mark at the 2000 World Series of Poker where he achieved 2 final tables and came away with his first WSOP bracelet, in a $2, 500 Pot-Limit Omaha event. At the final table he destroyed quite a few of the well known pros which includes "Amarillo Slim" Preston, David "Devilfish" Ulliot, and Phil Hellmuth, Jr.
He decided to take his game to the next level and headed out west to Sin City. He continues to play in "The Big Game" at the Bellagio with the best players in the world. Phil credits his achievements to dedication and an immeasurable love for the game of poker. He says that he is picking up skills every day and is very humble about his accomplishments. He admits to making errors every single session of poker and always strives to improve.
Despite the fact that Phil has come first in some big tournaments, he likes destroying cash games on a regular basis.
