Phil Ivey has been referred to as the number one poker player on the globe by most of the top pros. He was born in Riverside, CA and moved to Jersey before his first birthday. His grandfather taught Phil penny-ante 5-Card Stud poker. From then on on, he was addicted to poker and wished to learn anything he possibly could about poker. He routinely would tell his grandparents that he wanted to be a professional poker player. He did not allow the adverse feedback from other people destroy his ambition of becoming one of the best poker players on the planet.
He started playing intently after acquiring a false ID by the name of Jerome. He honed his game at the casinos in Atlantic City. The initial few years for him were a teaching opportunity and coming away with a win was not a regular thing at the time. Phil became known at the 2000 WSOP when he achieved two final tables and won his 1st World Series of Poker bracelet, in a $2, five hundred Pot-Limit Omaha game. At the closing table he destroyed a number of the better known pros which includes "Amarillo Slim" Preston, David "Devilfish" Ulliot, and Phil Hellmuth, Jr.
Phil decided to take his skills to the successive level and headed out west to Las Vegas. He continues to participate in in "The Big Game" at the Bellagio with the best players in the world. Phil credits his success to hard work and an undying passion for poker. He says that he’s picking up skills every single day and is very abashed about his achievements. He knows he makes errors in each game of poker and always aspires to improve.
Even though Phil has won some big tournaments, he favors winning money games on a normal basis.
