NL Texas Holdem Poker- Who is Phil Ivey?
Phil Ivey has been referred to as the greatest poker contender in the world by many of the top-ranked professionals. Phil Ivey was born in Riverside, CA and moved to Jersey before his first birthday. His grandpa taught Phil penny-ante 5-Card Stud poker. From then on on, he was addicted to poker and wanted to learn every little thing he possibly could about poker. Phil routinely would tell his parents that he was planning on being a professional poker player. Phil did not permit the detrimental comments from others annihilate his ambition of becoming one of the strongest poker competitors in the world.
He began competing seriously after getting a fake ID by the name of Jerome. He sharpened his game at the poker rooms of Atlantic City. The first number of years for him were a learning period and winning was not a common outcome at the time. He made his mark at the 2000 World Series of Poker when he made 2 final tables and won his 1st WSOP bracelet, in a $2, 500 Pot-Limit Omaha event. At the final table he destroyed quite a few of the well known professionals including but not limited to "Amarillo Slim" Preston, David "Devilfish" Ulliot, and Phil Hellmuth, Jr.
Phil decided to take his game 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 on the planet. Phil credits his achievements to hard work and an undying love for poker. Phil states that he is picking up skills every single day and is incredibly humble about his accomplishments. Phil admits to making mistakes in each game of poker and always strives to improve.
Despite the fact that Phil has come first in some large tournaments, he favors winning money games on a regular basis.
