No-Limit Holdem Poker- Who is Phil Ivey?
Phil Ivey has been labeled as the number one poker contender on the globe by many of the top professionals. He was born in Riverside, CA and moved to Jersey before reaching turning 1. His papa taught Phil penny-ante 5-Card Stud poker. From then on on, he was hooked on poker and wanted to pickup every little thing he could about poker. He would tell his elders that he was planning on being a professional poker player. Phil didn’t allow the detrimental feedback from other people destroy his ambition of becoming one of the best poker competitors on the planet.
He started competing seriously after acquiring a fake ID with the name of Jerome. He practiced his skills at the poker rooms in Atlantic City. The first few years for him were a teaching period and coming away with a win was not a normal thing at the time. He made his mark at the 2000 World Series of Poker where he made 2 final tables and won his first WSOP bracelet, in a two dollar, five hundred Pot-Limit Omaha match. At the last table he destroyed quite a few of the better known pros including "Amarillo Slim" Preston, David "Devilfish" Ulliot, and Phil Hellmuth, Jr.
He decided to take his game to the successive level and headed out west to Las Vegas. He continues to participate in in "The Big Game" at the Bellagio with the greatest players on the planet. Ivey credits his success to hard work and an undying passion for the game of poker. Phil says that he is learning every day and is very humble about his achievements. Phil admits to making blunders in each game of poker and constantly strives to improve.
Despite the fact that Ivey has come first in some large tournaments, he likes winning money games on a regular basis.
