Phil Ivey has been labeled as the number one 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 papa taught Phil penny-ante Five-Card Stud poker. From that point on, he was hooked on poker and wished to discover whatever he could about poker. He routinely told his grandparents that he wanted to be a professional poker player. Phil did not let the negative feedback from other people kill his dream of becoming one of the strongest poker players on the planet.
He started playing seriously after acquiring a false ID by the name of Jerome. He sharpened his skills at the casinos of Atlantic City. The first few years for him were a teaching experience and coming away with a win wasn’t a regular thing at the time. Phil became known at the 2000 World Series of Poker when he achieved two final tables and won his 1st World Series of Poker bracelet, in a $2, five hundred Pot-Limit Omaha match. At the last table he defeated a number of the better known pros including "Amarillo Slim" Preston, David "Devilfish" Ulliot, and Phil Hellmuth, Jr.
He decided to take his skills to the successive level and headed out west to Vegas. Phil continues to participate in in "The Big Game" at the Bellagio with the greatest players on the planet. Phil credits his achievements to dedication and an immeasurable passion for poker. Phil states that he’s picking up skills every single day and is very humble about his success. Phil knows he makes blunders in each game of poker and always strives to improve.
Despite the fact that Phil has won some big tournaments, he favors winning cash games on a normal basis.
