Phil Ivey has been referred to as the number one poker contender on the planet by most of the top-ranked professionals. Phil Ivey was born in Riverside, CA and relocated to Jersey before reaching turning one. His papa showed him to penny-ante Five-Card Stud poker. From then on on, Phil was addicted to poker and wished to learn everything he could about poker. He routinely told his grandparents that he was going to be a professional poker player. He didn’t permit the adverse feedback from others annihilate his dream of being one of the best poker players on the planet.
He began playing intently after acquiring a fake ID with the name of Jerome. He practiced his game at the casinos of Atlantic City. The beginning number of years for him were a learning period and winning wasn’t a common thing at the time. Phil made his mark at the 2000 World Series of Poker when he made 2 final tables and came away with his first WSOP bracelet, in a $2, five hundred Pot-Limit Omaha match. At the closing table he destroyed a number of the better known professionals 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 Las Vegas. He continues to compete in in "The Big Game" at the Bellagio with the greatest players in the world. Phil credits his success to dedication and a continuing love for the game of poker. Phil says that he is picking up skills every single day and is incredibly abashed about his success. Phil knows he makes mistakes every single game of poker and constantly strives to get better.
Despite the fact that Phil has come first in some large tournaments, he likes destroying cash games on a normal basis.
