NL Hold’em Poker- Who is Phil Ivey?
Phil Ivey has been labeled as the greatest poker player on the globe by most of the top professionals. Phil was born in Riverside, CA and relocated to Jersey before his first birthday. His papa taught Phil one cent-ante Five-Card Stud poker. From that point on, Phil was addicted to poker and wished to discover every little thing he could about the game. He routinely told his elders that he wanted to be a professional poker player. Phil didn’t permit the negative feedback from other people annihilate his ambition of being one of the greatest poker players on the planet.
Phil began competing seriously after getting a fake ID with the name of Jerome. He practiced his abilities at the casinos of Atlantic City. The beginning few years for him were a teaching opportunity and coming away with a win wasn’t a regular thing at the time. He became known at the 2000 World Series of Poker when he made two final tables and won his 1st WSOP bracelet, in a two dollar, five hundred Pot-Limit Omaha event. At the last table he defeated many of the better known pros including but not limited to "Amarillo Slim" Preston, David "Devilfish" Ulliot, and Phil Hellmuth, Jr.
Phil decided to take his game to the successive level and headed out west to Sin City. Phil continues to participate in in "The Big Game" at the Bellagio with the greatest players on the planet. Ivey credits his achievements to hard work and an undying love for poker. He says that he is picking up skills every single day and is very abashed about his achievements. He knows he makes blunders in each game of poker and always strives to improve.
Although Ivey has won some large tournaments, he likes winning money games on a regular basis.
