No-Limit Texas Holdem Poker- Who is Phil Ivey?
Phil Ivey has been referred to as the number one poker player on the globe by many of the top-ranked pros. Phil was born in Riverside, CA and relocated to New Jersey before his first birthday. His papa taught him penny-ante 5-Card Stud poker. From then on on, he was hooked on poker and wished to discover whatever he possibly could about poker. Phil routinely told his parents that he wanted to be a professional poker player. Phil didn’t let the detrimental comments from other people annihilate his ambition of being one of the best poker competitors on the planet.
He began playing seriously after acquiring a fake ID by the name of Jerome. He sharpened his game at the casinos in Atlantic City. The initial few years for him were a teaching period and winning was not a normal outcome at the time. Phil became known at the 2000 World Series of Poker when he achieved 2 final tables and came away with his first World Series of Poker bracelet, in a $2, five hundred Pot-Limit Omaha match. At the final table he destroyed many of the well known pros which includes "Amarillo Slim" Preston, David "Devilfish" Ulliot, and Phil Hellmuth, Jr.
He decided to take his skills to the next level and headed out west to Sin City. Phil continues to play in "The Big Game" at the Bellagio with the best players on the planet. Ivey credits his success to dedication and an immeasurable love for poker. He says that he is learning every single day and is very humble about his success. Phil knows he makes errors every single session of poker and always strives to get better.
Even though Ivey has won some big tournaments, he likes destroying money games on a regular basis.
