Phil Ivey has been labeled as the greatest poker player on the globe by most of the top-ranked professionals. Phil was born in Riverside, CA and relocated to Jersey before his first birthday. His grandfather taught Phil one cent-ante 5-Card Stud poker. From then on on, he was addicted to poker and wished to discover anything he could about the game. He routinely told his parents that he was going to be a professional poker player. He didn’t allow the adverse comments from others annihilate his goal of being one of the strongest poker players on the planet.
Phil began playing seriously after acquiring a fake ID with the name of Jerome. He honed his game at the casinos in Atlantic City. The initial few years for him were a learning period and winning wasn’t a common thing at the time. He became known at the 2000 World Series of Poker when he achieved 2 final tables and came away with his 1st WSOP bracelet, in a two dollar, five hundred Pot-Limit Omaha game. At the closing table he defeated many of the well known pros including "Amarillo Slim" Preston, David "Devilfish" Ulliot, and Phil Hellmuth, Jr.
Phil decided to take his skills to the successive level and moved out west to Vegas. He continues to play in "The Big Game" at the Bellagio with the best players in the world. Phil credits his success to dedication and an undying passion for poker. Phil says that he is picking up skills every day and is quite abashed about his achievements. Phil knows he makes errors every single game of poker and always strives to get better.
Despite the fact that Ivey has won some big-time tournaments, he likes winning money games on a normal basis.
