NL Texas Hold’em Poker- Who is Phil Ivey?
Phil Ivey has been referred to as the greatest poker contender on the globe by most of the top-ranked pros. Phil Ivey was born in Riverside, CA and relocated to Jersey before his first birthday. His papa taught Phil penny-ante 5-Card Stud poker. From then on on, Phil was hooked on poker and wanted to learn every little thing he could about the game. Phil routinely told his grandparents that he wanted to be a professional poker player. He didn’t let the adverse feedback from other people destroy his dream of becoming one of the greatest poker players in the world.
Phil began playing seriously after getting a fake ID by the name of Jerome. He honed his skills at the casinos of Atlantic City. The first few years for Phil were a learning period and winning wasn’t a regular outcome at the time. Phil made his mark at the 2000 WSOP when he achieved two final tables and won his 1st World Series of Poker bracelet, in a $2, five hundred Pot-Limit Omaha game. At the final table he destroyed a number of the well known pros including but not limited to "Amarillo Slim" Preston, David "Devilfish" Ulliot, and Phil Hellmuth, Jr.
Phil decided to take his skills to the successive level and moved out west to Vegas. He continues to compete in in "The Big Game" at the Bellagio with the greatest players in the world. Ivey credits his success to hard work and an undying love for poker. Phil says that he is picking up skills every single day and is quite abashed about his accomplishments. Phil knows he makes mistakes every single game of poker and always strives to get better.
Although Ivey has won some big tournaments, he prefers winning money games on a normal basis.
