Phil Ivey has been labeled as the greatest poker competitor on the globe by quite a few of the top-ranked professionals. Phil was born in Riverside, CA and moved to Jersey before reaching the age of 1. His grandpa taught him penny-ante 5-Card Stud poker. From then on on, he was hooked on poker and wished to learn every little thing he could about the game. Phil would tell his parents that he was planning on being a professional poker player. He didn’t permit the detrimental feedback from other people kill his goal of being one of the strongest poker players in the world.

Phil started playing intently after acquiring a fake ID by the name of Jerome. He sharpened his game at the poker rooms in Atlantic City. The initial few years for him were a learning period and winning was not a common outcome at the time. He made his mark at the 2000 WSOP when he made two final tables and won his first WSOP bracelet, in a $2, five hundred Pot-Limit Omaha event. At the final table he defeated quite a few 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. He continues to participate in in "The Big Game" at the Bellagio with the greatest players in the world. Ivey credits his achievements to discipline and a continuing love for poker. Phil says that he is learning every day and is very abashed about his achievements. Phil admits to making mistakes every single session of poker and constantly strives to get better.

Despite the fact that Ivey has won some large tournaments, he likes destroying money games on a regular basis.
