No-Limit Hold’em Poker- Who is Phil Ivey?
Monday, 2. May 2022
Phil Ivey has been branded as the best poker contender on the planet by many of the top professionals. Phil Ivey was born in Riverside, CA and moved to New Jersey before reaching turning 1. His grandfather taught him penny-ante 5-Card Stud poker. From then on on, he was hooked on poker and wished to discover every little thing he possibly could about poker. Phil routinely told his grandparents that he was planning on being a professional poker player. Phil did not permit the adverse comments from other people destroy his goal of becoming one of the best poker players in the world.
He began playing intently after acquiring a false ID by the name of Jerome. He honed his game at the poker rooms in Atlantic City. The first number of years for Phil were a learning opportunity and coming away with a win wasn’t a common thing at the time. He made his mark at the 2000 WSOP where he made two final tables and came away with his first WSOP bracelet, in a $2, 500 Pot-Limit Omaha event. At the last table he destroyed a number of the better known pros including "Amarillo Slim" Preston, David "Devilfish" Ulliot, and Phil Hellmuth, Jr.
Phil decided to take his game to the successive 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. Phil credits his achievements to hard work and a continuing passion for the game of poker. Phil states that he is learning every single day and is incredibly abashed about his success. He admits to making mistakes in each game of poker and constantly strives to get better.
Despite the fact that Phil has won some large tournaments, he favors winning money games on a regular basis.
