NL Texas Hold’em Poker- Who is Phil Ivey?
Phil Ivey has been branded as the best poker competitor on the planet by quite a few of the top professionals. Phil Ivey was born in Riverside, CA and moved to Jersey before reaching the age of 1. His papa showed him to penny-ante Five-Card Stud poker. From that point on, Phil was hooked on poker and wished to discover anything he possibly could about poker. Phil would tell his elders that he was planning on being a professional poker player. He didn’t permit the detrimental feedback from others kill his ambition of becoming one of the best poker players in the world.
Phil started competing intently after acquiring a fake ID by the name of Jerome. He honed his techniques at the casinos of Atlantic City. The first few years for Phil were a learning period and winning was not a normal thing at the time. Phil became known at the 2000 WSOP when he made two final tables and won his first World Series of Poker bracelet, in a two dollar, 500 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 decided to take his skills to the next level and moved out west to Las Vegas. Phil continues to participate in in "The Big Game" at the Bellagio with the best players in the world. Phil credits his achievements to hard work and an undying love for poker. Phil states that he’s picking up skills every day and is quite abashed about his achievements. He knows he makes errors every single session of poker and always aspires to get better.
Although Phil has won some big tournaments, he likes winning money games on a regular basis.
