No-Limit Holdem Poker- Who is Phil Ivey?
Phil Ivey has been branded as the greatest poker competitor on the globe by quite a few of the top-ranked professionals. Phil Ivey was born in Riverside, CA and moved to NJ before his first birthday. His papa taught Phil penny-ante Five-Card Stud poker. From then on on, Phil was addicted to poker and wished to pickup anything he possibly could about the game. Phil would tell his grandparents that he was going to be a professional poker player. He didn’t allow the detrimental feedback from other people kill his ambition of being one of the strongest poker competitors in the world.
He began playing seriously after acquiring a fake ID by the name of Jerome. He honed his game at the casinos of Atlantic City. The initial number of years for him were a teaching period and winning was not a regular outcome at the time. Phil became known at the 2000 WSOP when he achieved 2 final tables and won his first WSOP bracelet, in a two dollar, 500 Pot-Limit Omaha event. At the last table he destroyed a number of the better known professionals which includes "Amarillo Slim" Preston, David "Devilfish" Ulliot, and Phil Hellmuth, Jr.
He decided to take his skills to the successive level and headed out west to Vegas. Phil continues to participate in in "The Big Game" at the Bellagio with the greatest players in the world. Ivey credits his achievements to hard work and an immeasurable passion for the game of poker. Phil states that he is picking up skills every day and is incredibly humble about his achievements. He knows he makes mistakes every single session of poker and always aspires to get better.
Despite the fact that Phil has won some big-time tournaments, he favors winning money games on a normal basis.
