Phil Ivey has been branded as the best poker competitor on the planet by quite a few of the top-ranked professionals. Phil Ivey was born in Riverside, CA and moved to Jersey before reaching turning 1. His grandfather showed him to penny-ante Five-Card Stud poker. From that point on, Phil was addicted to poker and wanted to pickup anything he could about the game. He would tell his parents that he wanted to be a professional poker player. He didn’t allow the detrimental feedback from other people annihilate his dream of becoming one of the strongest poker players on the planet.
He started playing seriously after getting a fake ID with the name of Jerome. He sharpened his skills at the poker rooms of Atlantic City. The initial few years for Phil were a teaching opportunity and winning wasn’t a regular thing at the time. Phil became known at the 2000 World Series of Poker where he achieved two final tables and came away with his first World Series of Poker bracelet, in a $2, five hundred Pot-Limit Omaha event. At the final table he destroyed a number of the better known pros including but not limited to "Amarillo Slim" Preston, David "Devilfish" Ulliot, and Phil Hellmuth, Jr.
Phil decided to take his skills to the successive level and headed out west to Vegas. Phil continues to play in "The Big Game" at the Bellagio with the greatest players on the planet. Phil credits his achievements to dedication and an eternal love for the game of poker. He states that he’s learning every single day and is incredibly humble about his accomplishments. Phil admits to making errors every single game of poker and always aspires to improve.
Although Ivey has come first in some large tournaments, he favors destroying money games on a normal basis.
