No-Limit Holdem Poker- Who is Phil Ivey?
Phil Ivey has been referred to as the best poker contender on the planet by most of the top-ranked pros. Phil was born in Riverside, CA and moved to Jersey before reaching the age of one. His papa taught him penny-ante Five-Card Stud poker. From then on on, he was addicted to poker and wanted to discover everything he possibly could about poker. Phil routinely told his elders that he was planning on being a professional poker player. Phil didn’t allow the detrimental comments from other people annihilate his ambition of becoming one of the best poker players on the planet.
Phil started playing intently after getting a fake ID with the name of Jerome. He honed his techniques at the poker rooms of Atlantic City. The first number of years for Phil were a learning period and winning was not a normal outcome at the time. Phil made his mark at the 2000 World Series of Poker when he achieved 2 final tables and won his 1st World Series of Poker bracelet, in a two dollar, 500 Pot-Limit Omaha event. At the final table he defeated many of the better known professionals which includes "Amarillo Slim" Preston, David "Devilfish" Ulliot, and Phil Hellmuth, Jr.
Phil decided to take his skills to the next level and moved out west to Sin City. Phil continues to participate in in "The Big Game" at the Bellagio with the greatest players in the world. Ivey credits his achievements to dedication and an immeasurable passion for poker. Phil states that he’s picking up skills every single day and is very humble about his success. He knows he makes blunders every single game of poker and always aspires to get better.
Despite the fact that Phil has come first in some big tournaments, he favors destroying cash games on a normal basis.
