No-Limit Hold’em Poker- Who is Phil Ivey?
Phil Ivey has been branded as the number one poker contender on the globe by most of the top-ranked pros. Phil was born in Riverside, CA and relocated to NJ before reaching turning one. His grandpa introduced him to penny-ante Five-Card Stud poker. From that point on, he was addicted to poker and wished to discover everything he possibly could about poker. He would tell his parents that he was planning on being a professional poker player. He did not permit the detrimental comments from others destroy his dream of becoming one of the greatest poker competitors on the planet.
He began playing seriously after getting a false ID with the name of Jerome. He honed his skills at the poker rooms of Atlantic City. The first few years for him were a teaching period and coming away with a win wasn’t a normal outcome at the time. Phil made his mark at the 2000 WSOP where he achieved two final tables and won his 1st WSOP 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 Las Vegas. He continues to compete in in "The Big Game" at the Bellagio with the best players on the planet. Phil credits his achievements to dedication and an undying passion for the game of poker. Phil states that he is picking up skills every single day and is quite humble about his success. Phil admits to making errors every single session of poker and constantly aspires to improve.
Despite the fact that Phil has won some big-time tournaments, he likes winning money games on a normal basis.
