Phil Ivey has been labeled as the best poker player in the world by most of the top-ranked professionals. Phil was born in Riverside, CA and relocated to New Jersey before his first birthday. His papa taught Phil one cent-ante 5-Card Stud poker. From that point on, Phil was hooked on poker and wished to learn everything he possibly could about poker. Phil routinely told his elders that he was planning on being a professional poker player. Phil did not allow the detrimental feedback from other people annihilate his goal of becoming one of the strongest poker competitors in the world.
Phil started competing seriously after acquiring a false ID by the name of Jerome. He honed his game at the poker rooms in Atlantic City. The first few years for him were a teaching experience and coming away with a win was not a normal thing at the time. He became known at the 2000 WSOP when he achieved two final tables and won his first World Series of Poker bracelet, in a two dollar, five hundred Pot-Limit Omaha event. At the closing table he defeated a number of the better known pros which includes "Amarillo Slim" Preston, David "Devilfish" Ulliot, and Phil Hellmuth, Jr.
He made a decision to take his game to the successive level and moved out west to Las Vegas. Phil continues to compete in in "The Big Game" at the Bellagio with the best players on the planet. Phil credits his achievements to dedication and an eternal love for the game of poker. Phil states that he’s learning every single day and is quite abashed about his success. Phil admits to making errors in each session of poker and always aspires to get better.
Despite the fact that Phil has won some big tournaments, he likes destroying cash games on a regular basis.
