No-Limit Texas Holdem Poker- Who is Phil Ivey?
Thursday, 27. June 2024
Phil Ivey has been branded as the greatest poker player on the planet by quite a few of the top professionals. Phil Ivey was born in Riverside, CA and relocated to New Jersey before his first birthday. His papa taught Phil penny-ante 5-Card Stud poker. From then on on, Phil was addicted to poker and wanted to pickup every little thing he possibly could about poker. Phil would tell his grandparents that he was planning on being a professional poker player. Phil didn’t let the adverse comments from others destroy his dream of becoming one of the greatest poker competitors in the world.
He started playing intently after acquiring a false ID with the name of Jerome. He practiced his game at the casinos in Atlantic City. The first number of years for Phil were a teaching experience and coming away with a win wasn’t a normal thing at the time. Phil made his mark at the 2000 WSOP when he achieved two final tables and came away with his first WSOP bracelet, in a $2, 500 Pot-Limit Omaha event. At the closing table he destroyed many of the better known professionals including but not limited to "Amarillo Slim" Preston, David "Devilfish" Ulliot, and Phil Hellmuth, Jr.
He made a decision to take his game to the successive level and headed out west to Sin City. He continues to play in "The Big Game" at the Bellagio with the greatest players in the world. Phil credits his achievements to discipline and an immeasurable love for the game of poker. He states that he’s picking up skills every single day and is very abashed about his accomplishments. He admits to making errors in each game of poker and constantly aspires to get better.
Although Ivey has won some large tournaments, he likes winning money games on a regular basis.
