No-Limit Texas Hold’em Poker- Who is Phil Ivey?
Friday, 8. January 2021
Phil Ivey has been labeled as the number one poker contender on the planet by many of the top-ranked professionals. Phil was born in Riverside, CA and moved to NJ before reaching the age of one. His grandfather taught him one cent-ante 5-Card Stud poker. From that point on, Phil was hooked on poker and wished to learn whatever he could about poker. Phil routinely told his parents that he wanted to be a professional poker player. Phil didn’t let the detrimental feedback from other people annihilate his goal of becoming one of the greatest poker players in the world.
He started playing intently after getting a fake ID with the name of Jerome. He honed his abilities at the poker rooms of Atlantic City. The initial number of years for him were a teaching experience and coming away with a win was not a normal thing at the time. He became known at the 2000 World Series of Poker where he made two final tables and came away with his 1st WSOP bracelet, in a two dollar, 500 Pot-Limit Omaha match. At the last table he defeated a number of the well known professionals which includes "Amarillo Slim" Preston, David "Devilfish" Ulliot, and Phil Hellmuth, Jr.
Phil made a decision to take his skills to the next level and headed out west to Vegas. Phil continues to participate in in "The Big Game" at the Bellagio with the best players on the planet. Phil credits his achievements to hard work and an immeasurable passion for the game of poker. Phil states that he’s picking up skills every day and is very abashed about his success. He admits to making errors every single game of poker and constantly strives to get better.
Despite the fact that Ivey has won some big tournaments, he likes destroying money games on a normal basis.
