Phil Ivey has been referred to as the number one poker competitor on the globe by quite a few of the top professionals. Phil was born in Riverside, CA and moved to New Jersey before his first birthday. His papa introduced him to penny-ante 5-Card Stud poker. From that point on, he was hooked on poker and wanted to learn whatever he could about poker. Phil routinely would tell his elders that he wanted to be a professional poker player. He didn’t let the detrimental comments from others annihilate his dream of being one of the best poker competitors on the planet.
He began competing intently after getting a fake ID with the name of Jerome. He practiced his techniques at the poker rooms in Atlantic City. The initial number of years for Phil were a learning period and winning was not a regular outcome at the time. He made his mark at the 2000 WSOP when he made two final tables and came away with his 1st World Series of Poker bracelet, in a two dollar, 500 Pot-Limit Omaha game. At the final table he destroyed quite a few of the better known pros which includes "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. He continues to compete in in "The Big Game" at the Bellagio with the greatest players on the planet. Phil credits his achievements to discipline and an undying love for the game of poker. Phil says that he’s learning every day and is very abashed about his achievements. Phil admits to making blunders every single session of poker and always strives to improve.
Despite the fact that Ivey has won some big tournaments, he favors winning money games on a normal basis.
