Phil Ivey has been branded as the number one poker contender on the globe by most of the top professionals. Phil was born in Riverside, CA and moved to New Jersey before reaching turning 1. His grandfather taught him one cent-ante Five-Card Stud poker. From that point on, Phil was addicted to poker and wished to pickup anything he could about poker. Phil routinely told his elders that he was going to be a professional poker player. He didn’t let the adverse feedback from other people annihilate his ambition of becoming one of the greatest poker competitors in the world.
He began competing intently after acquiring a fake ID by the name of Jerome. He honed his abilities at the poker rooms of Atlantic City. The initial few years for Phil were a learning experience and winning was not a normal outcome at the time. He became known at the 2000 World Series of Poker where he made 2 final tables and won his first WSOP bracelet, in a $2, five hundred Pot-Limit Omaha game. At the final table he defeated a number of the well known professionals including but not limited to "Amarillo Slim" Preston, David "Devilfish" Ulliot, and Phil Hellmuth, Jr.
Phil made a decision to take his skills to the successive level and headed out west to Las Vegas. Phil continues to play in "The Big Game" at the Bellagio with the greatest players in the world. Phil credits his success to hard work and an immeasurable passion for the game of poker. He states that he’s picking up skills every day and is very humble about his achievements. Phil admits to making mistakes in each session of poker and constantly aspires to improve.
Despite the fact that Phil has come first in some large tournaments, he likes winning money games on a normal basis.
