Phil Ivey has been referred to as the best poker player on the planet by many of the top-ranked professionals. Phil Ivey was born in Riverside, CA and moved to NJ before reaching the age of one. His papa introduced him to penny-ante 5-Card Stud poker. From that point on, Phil was addicted to poker and wanted to discover whatever he possibly could about poker. He routinely told his parents that he wanted to be a professional poker player. He did not allow the negative feedback from other people annihilate his dream of becoming one of the strongest poker players on the planet.
Phil began playing intently after getting a fake ID with the name of Jerome. He honed his skills at the poker rooms of Atlantic City. The initial number of years for Phil were a teaching period and winning wasn’t a common outcome at the time. He became known at the 2000 WSOP where he achieved 2 final tables and won his first WSOP bracelet, in a two dollar, five hundred Pot-Limit Omaha event. At the final table he destroyed a number of the better known pros which includes "Amarillo Slim" Preston, David "Devilfish" Ulliot, and Phil Hellmuth, Jr.
He made a decision to take his game to the successive level and moved out west to Vegas. Phil continues to participate in in "The Big Game" at the Bellagio with the greatest players in the world. Phil credits his achievements to discipline and an undying love for the game of poker. He states that he’s picking up skills every day and is very humble about his accomplishments. He knows he makes errors in each game of poker and constantly aspires to improve.
Despite the fact that Ivey has come first in some big tournaments, he likes destroying money games on a normal basis.
