No-Limit Texas Hold’em Poker- Who is Phil Ivey?
Phil Ivey has been branded as the number one poker competitor on the globe by most of the top-ranked professionals. Phil Ivey was born in Riverside, CA and moved to NJ before his first birthday. His papa showed him to penny-ante 5-Card Stud poker. From that point on, he was addicted to poker and wished to learn everything he possibly could about poker. Phil routinely told his grandparents that he was going to be a professional poker player. Phil didn’t permit the adverse feedback from others kill his goal of being one of the best poker competitors in the world.
Phil started playing seriously after getting a false ID with the name of Jerome. He sharpened his techniques at the poker rooms of Atlantic City. The first number of years for him were a teaching experience and coming away with a win wasn’t a common outcome at the time. He became known at the 2000 WSOP when he achieved 2 final tables and won his 1st World Series of Poker bracelet, in a $2, five hundred Pot-Limit Omaha match. At the final table he destroyed a number of the well known professionals including but not limited to "Amarillo Slim" Preston, David "Devilfish" Ulliot, and Phil Hellmuth, Jr.
He made a decision to take his game to the next level and moved out west to Vegas. Phil continues to play in "The Big Game" at the Bellagio with the greatest players in the world. Ivey credits his achievements to dedication and an undying passion for the game of poker. Phil says that he’s picking up skills every single day and is very abashed about his accomplishments. He knows he makes mistakes in each game of poker and always aspires to improve.
Despite the fact that Phil has come first in some large tournaments, he likes winning money games on a normal basis.
