No-Limit Texas Holdem Poker- Who is Phil Ivey?

Friday, 16. August 2019

Phil Ivey has been referred to as the number one poker competitor on the globe by quite a few of the top-ranked professionals. Phil was born in Riverside, CA and moved to Jersey before his first birthday. His grandfather introduced him to penny-ante Five-Card Stud poker. From then on on, he was addicted to poker and wanted to pickup every little thing he could about poker. Phil routinely told his parents that he was planning on being a professional poker player. Phil didn’t let the detrimental comments from other people destroy his dream of being one of the greatest poker players on the planet.

He began playing intently after acquiring a fake ID by the name of Jerome. He sharpened his abilities at the poker rooms of Atlantic City. The initial few years for Phil were a learning period and coming away with a win was not a normal outcome at the time. He became known at the 2000 World Series of Poker when he achieved 2 final tables and came away with his first WSOP bracelet, in a $2, five hundred Pot-Limit Omaha game. At the final table he defeated many of the better known pros including but not limited to "Amarillo Slim" Preston, David "Devilfish" Ulliot, and Phil Hellmuth, Jr.

Phil made a decision to take his game to the successive level and headed out west to Vegas. Phil continues to play in "The Big Game" at the Bellagio with the best players in the world. Ivey credits his success to discipline and an undying love for poker. Phil says that he’s picking up skills every day and is quite abashed about his success. Phil admits to making errors in each session of poker and constantly aspires to improve.

Despite the fact that Phil has won some big tournaments, he likes destroying money games on a regular basis.
