Phil Ivey has been branded as the best poker contender in the world by quite a few of the top professionals. Phil was born in Riverside, CA and relocated to Jersey before reaching turning 1. His grandpa taught him penny-ante 5-Card Stud poker. From then on on, he was hooked on poker and wanted to learn anything he could about the game. He routinely told his grandparents that he wanted to be a professional poker player. Phil didn’t permit the detrimental comments from others annihilate his goal of becoming one of the strongest poker players in the world.
He began competing intently after acquiring a fake ID with the name of Jerome. He sharpened his techniques at the poker rooms of Atlantic City. The first number of years for Phil were a teaching experience and coming away with a win wasn’t a regular outcome at the time. He became known at the 2000 World Series of Poker where he made 2 final tables and won his first World Series of Poker bracelet, in a $2, 500 Pot-Limit Omaha event. At the closing table he defeated a number of the well known pros including but not limited to "Amarillo Slim" Preston, David "Devilfish" Ulliot, and Phil Hellmuth, Jr.
Phil made a decision to take his game to the successive level and headed out west to Vegas. Phil continues to compete in in "The Big Game" at the Bellagio with the greatest players in the world. Phil credits his success to hard work and an immeasurable love for the game of poker. He says that he’s learning every day and is quite abashed about his accomplishments. He knows he makes errors every single session of poker and constantly strives to improve.
Despite the fact that Phil has come first in some big tournaments, he likes destroying money games on a normal basis.
