Phil Ivey has been labeled as the greatest poker contender on the planet by most of the top pros. Phil Ivey was born in Riverside, CA and relocated to New Jersey before his first birthday. His papa taught him one cent-ante 5-Card Stud poker. From then on on, he was addicted to poker and wished to discover every little thing he could about poker. He routinely told his grandparents that he was planning on being a professional poker player. He didn’t let the adverse comments from other people destroy his dream of being one of the greatest poker players on the planet.
He began competing intently after acquiring a false ID by the name of Jerome. He sharpened his game at the poker rooms of Atlantic City. The initial number of years for Phil were a learning experience and winning wasn’t a normal thing at the time. He made his mark at the 2000 WSOP where he made two final tables and won his 1st WSOP bracelet, in a two dollar, five hundred Pot-Limit Omaha event. At the last table he destroyed a number of the better known pros including "Amarillo Slim" Preston, David "Devilfish" Ulliot, and Phil Hellmuth, Jr.
He made a decision to take his skills to the successive level and headed out west to Sin City. 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 immeasurable love for poker. He says that he’s picking up skills every single day and is very abashed about his accomplishments. Phil admits to making mistakes in each game of poker and constantly aspires to get better.
Despite the fact that Phil has won some big tournaments, he prefers destroying money games on a normal basis.
