Phil Ivey has been branded as the number one poker player on the globe by quite a few of the top pros. Phil Ivey was born in Riverside, CA and relocated to Jersey before reaching turning one. His grandpa taught Phil one cent-ante Five-Card Stud poker. From then on on, he was hooked on poker and wished to learn every little thing he could about the game. Phil routinely told his grandparents that he wanted to be a professional poker player. He did not allow the adverse feedback from other people kill his goal of becoming one of the strongest poker competitors in the world.
Phil started playing seriously after acquiring a fake ID with the name of Jerome. He sharpened his abilities at the poker rooms of Atlantic City. The initial few years for Phil were a learning period and coming away with a win was not a normal outcome at the time. He made his mark at the 2000 WSOP where he made 2 final tables and won his first World Series of Poker bracelet, in a $2, five hundred Pot-Limit Omaha event. At the closing table he defeated quite a few of the better known pros including but not limited to "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 Sin City. He continues to compete in in "The Big Game" at the Bellagio with the best players on the planet. Phil credits his success to hard work and an undying passion for poker. He says that he is learning every day and is incredibly humble about his accomplishments. He admits to making blunders every single session of poker and constantly aspires to improve.
Despite the fact that Phil has won some large tournaments, he favors destroying cash games on a normal basis.
