Phil Ivey has been labeled as the greatest poker player on the planet by quite a few of the top-ranked pros. He was born in Riverside, CA and relocated to NJ before his first birthday. His grandpa taught Phil penny-ante Five-Card Stud poker. From that point on, Phil was hooked on poker and wished to discover everything he possibly could about poker. Phil routinely told his grandparents that he wanted to be a professional poker player. He did not permit the adverse feedback from others destroy his ambition of being one of the best poker competitors in the world.
Phil started playing seriously after acquiring a fake ID with the name of Jerome. He practiced his game at the casinos in Atlantic City. The first number of years for Phil were a learning experience and winning wasn’t a common outcome at the time. He became known at the 2000 World Series of Poker where he achieved 2 final tables and won his 1st WSOP bracelet, in a $2, five hundred Pot-Limit Omaha match. At the closing table he destroyed a number of the well known professionals 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 moved out west to Vegas. He continues to play in "The Big Game" at the Bellagio with the greatest players on the planet. Phil credits his success to discipline and an eternal love for the game of poker. Phil states that he is learning every single day and is quite abashed about his achievements. Phil admits to making errors in each session of poker and constantly strives to improve.
Although Phil has come first in some big tournaments, he likes destroying cash games on a regular basis.
