No-Limit Texas Hold’em Poker- Who is Phil Ivey?
Phil Ivey has been referred to as the best poker player on the planet by most of the top pros. Phil Ivey was born in Riverside, CA and moved to New Jersey before reaching turning 1. His grandfather showed him to penny-ante 5-Card Stud poker. From that point on, he was addicted to poker and wanted to discover everything he could about the game. Phil routinely would tell his parents that he wanted to be a professional poker player. Phil did not allow the negative feedback from other people kill his goal of being one of the best poker players on the planet.
He began competing intently after getting a false ID by the name of Jerome. He practiced his game at the casinos of Atlantic City. The initial few years for him were a teaching period and coming away with a win wasn’t a common outcome at the time. He made his mark at the 2000 WSOP when he achieved two final tables and won his first World Series of Poker bracelet, in a $2, 500 Pot-Limit Omaha event. At the final table he defeated many of the well known professionals including but not limited to "Amarillo Slim" Preston, David "Devilfish" Ulliot, and Phil Hellmuth, Jr.
He made a decision to take his skills to the successive level and moved out west to Sin City. Phil continues to participate in in "The Big Game" at the Bellagio with the greatest players on the planet. Ivey credits his success to dedication and an undying love for the game of poker. He states that he is picking up skills every single day and is very humble about his achievements. Phil admits to making errors every single game of poker and always strives to get better.
Although Ivey has come first in some large tournaments, he prefers destroying money games on a regular basis.
