No-Limit Texas Hold’em Poker- Who is Phil Ivey?
Tuesday, 15. September 2015
Phil Ivey has been branded as the best poker competitor on the globe by quite a few of the top-ranked pros. Phil Ivey was born in Riverside, CA and relocated to Jersey before reaching the age of 1. His papa taught Phil one cent-ante 5-Card Stud poker. From that point on, he was hooked on poker and wished to learn every little thing he could about the game. Phil would tell his parents that he was planning on being a professional poker player. Phil didn’t permit the negative feedback from other people destroy his goal of becoming one of the greatest poker players on the planet.
He began competing seriously after getting a false ID with the name of Jerome. He practiced his techniques at the poker rooms of Atlantic City. The first few years for him were a learning opportunity and winning was not a normal thing at the time. He became known at the 2000 World Series of Poker when he made 2 final tables and came away with his 1st World Series of Poker bracelet, in a $2, five hundred Pot-Limit Omaha event. At the last table he defeated a number of the better known pros which includes "Amarillo Slim" Preston, David "Devilfish" Ulliot, and Phil Hellmuth, Jr.
Phil decided to take his skills to the next level and headed out west to Sin City. Phil continues to participate in in "The Big Game" at the Bellagio with the best players on the planet. Phil credits his success to dedication and a continuing love for poker. Phil states that he’s picking up skills every day and is very humble about his achievements. Phil knows he makes errors every single game of poker and always strives to get better.
Despite the fact that Ivey has won some big-time tournaments, he likes winning money games on a regular basis.
