Phil Ivey has been referred to as the greatest poker player on the globe by most of the top pros. Phil was born in Riverside, CA and relocated to New Jersey before reaching turning one. His papa taught him one cent-ante 5-Card Stud poker. From that point on, he was addicted to poker and wished to discover every little thing he could about the game. Phil routinely would tell his grandparents that he was going to be a professional poker player. He didn’t permit the detrimental comments from others annihilate his ambition of being one of the best poker players in the world.
He started competing seriously after getting a false ID with the name of Jerome. He sharpened his game at the casinos of Atlantic City. The beginning number of years for Phil were a learning opportunity and winning wasn’t a normal thing at the time. Phil became known 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, five hundred Pot-Limit Omaha event. At the closing table he destroyed a number of the well known professionals which includes "Amarillo Slim" Preston, David "Devilfish" Ulliot, and Phil Hellmuth, Jr.
Phil made a decision to take his game to the next level and moved out west to Vegas. He continues to play in "The Big Game" at the Bellagio with the best players in the world. Ivey credits his success to discipline and an undying love for the game of poker. Phil states that he’s picking up skills every single day and is quite humble about his accomplishments. He knows he makes errors in each game of poker and constantly aspires to get better.
Despite the fact that Ivey has won some large tournaments, he prefers destroying money games on a regular basis.
