NL Texas Holdem Poker- Who is Phil Ivey?
Wednesday, 29. November 2023
Phil Ivey has been labeled as the best poker competitor on the planet by quite a few of the top pros. Phil was born in Riverside, CA and relocated to Jersey before reaching turning 1. His grandpa taught him one cent-ante Five-Card Stud poker. From that point on, Phil was addicted to poker and wanted to pickup whatever he possibly could about poker. He would tell his parents that he was planning on being a professional poker player. Phil did not permit the adverse comments from others kill his goal of being one of the greatest poker competitors in the world.
He started playing intently after getting a false ID by the name of Jerome. He sharpened his game at the casinos of Atlantic City. The beginning number of years for him were a teaching period and coming away with a win was not a regular thing at the time. He made his mark at the 2000 WSOP when he achieved two final tables and won his first World Series of Poker bracelet, in a two dollar, five hundred Pot-Limit Omaha match. At the last table he defeated many of the better known pros including "Amarillo Slim" Preston, David "Devilfish" Ulliot, and Phil Hellmuth, Jr.
He decided to take his skills to the next level and headed out west to Las Vegas. Phil continues to compete in in "The Big Game" at the Bellagio with the best players in the world. Phil credits his achievements to hard work and an eternal love for the game of poker. Phil states that he’s learning every day and is very abashed about his accomplishments. He admits to making errors every single game of poker and constantly aspires to get better.
Despite the fact that Phil has come first in some big-time tournaments, he likes winning money games on a regular basis.
