Phil Ivey has been branded as the number one poker competitor on the planet by many of the top professionals. Phil Ivey was born in Riverside, CA and relocated to NJ before his first birthday. His grandpa introduced him to one cent-ante 5-Card Stud poker. From then on on, Phil was addicted to poker and wished to discover everything he possibly could about the game. Phil routinely would tell his parents that he was planning on being a professional poker player. He didn’t permit the detrimental feedback from other people destroy his dream of being one of the greatest poker competitors on the planet.
Phil started playing intently after acquiring a fake ID with the name of Jerome. He honed his abilities at the poker rooms of Atlantic City. The first few years for Phil were a learning opportunity and winning was not a common outcome at the time. Phil became known at the 2000 World Series of Poker where he achieved two final tables and came away with his first World Series of Poker bracelet, in a $2, 500 Pot-Limit Omaha match. At the closing table he destroyed a number of the better known professionals including "Amarillo Slim" Preston, David "Devilfish" Ulliot, and Phil Hellmuth, Jr.
He made a decision to take his skills to the successive level and headed out west to Sin City. 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 immeasurable passion for poker. He says that he is learning every single day and is very humble about his achievements. He admits to making mistakes in each game of poker and always aspires to improve.
Despite the fact that Ivey has come first in some big-time tournaments, he likes winning money games on a normal basis.
