Phil Ivey has been labeled as the greatest poker contender on the globe by most of the top pros. Phil Ivey was born in Riverside, CA and moved to Jersey before reaching turning 1. His grandfather taught him one cent-ante Five-Card Stud poker. From then on on, he was addicted to poker and wanted to learn everything he could about the game. Phil routinely told his parents that he wanted to be a professional poker player. He didn’t allow the detrimental feedback from others annihilate his goal of being one of the greatest poker competitors on the planet.
Phil started competing intently after acquiring a fake ID with the name of Jerome. He sharpened his abilities at the poker rooms of Atlantic City. The initial few years for him were a learning period and winning was not a normal thing at the time. He became known at the 2000 WSOP when he achieved 2 final tables and won his 1st WSOP bracelet, in a two dollar, five hundred Pot-Limit Omaha match. At the closing table he destroyed quite a few of the well known pros which includes "Amarillo Slim" Preston, David "Devilfish" Ulliot, and Phil Hellmuth, Jr.
He made a decision to take his skills to the successive level and moved out west to Vegas. Phil continues to play in "The Big Game" at the Bellagio with the greatest players on the planet. Ivey credits his success to discipline and an eternal love for poker. Phil states that he’s learning every single day and is very humble about his accomplishments. Phil admits to making errors every single session of poker and constantly aspires to improve.
Despite the fact that Ivey has won some big-time tournaments, he likes winning cash games on a normal basis.
