Phil Ivey has been branded as the number one poker competitor on the planet by quite a few of the top-ranked professionals. He was born in Riverside, CA and relocated to New Jersey before his first birthday. His grandpa taught him penny-ante 5-Card Stud poker. From that point on, he was hooked on poker and wished to learn whatever he possibly could about the game. Phil routinely would tell his elders that he was planning on being a professional poker player. Phil didn’t allow the detrimental comments from other people annihilate his goal of being one of the greatest poker players on the planet.
He began competing intently after acquiring a fake ID by the name of Jerome. He practiced his game at the poker rooms of Atlantic City. The beginning number of years for Phil were a learning period and winning wasn’t a normal outcome at the time. Phil made his mark at the 2000 WSOP when he achieved 2 final tables and came away with his first World Series of Poker bracelet, in a two dollar, five hundred Pot-Limit Omaha game. At the last table he destroyed many of the well known pros which includes "Amarillo Slim" Preston, David "Devilfish" Ulliot, and Phil Hellmuth, Jr.
He decided to take his game to the successive level and moved out west to Sin City. Phil continues to compete in in "The Big Game" at the Bellagio with the best players in the world. Phil credits his achievements to discipline and an undying love for the game of poker. He says that he is learning every single day and is very abashed about his achievements. Phil knows he makes mistakes every single session of poker and always aspires to improve.
Despite the fact that Ivey has won some big tournaments, he favors destroying money games on a normal basis.
