NL Hold’em Poker- Who is Phil Ivey?

Phil Ivey has been branded as the best poker competitor on the globe by quite a few of the top-ranked professionals. Phil Ivey was born in Riverside, CA and relocated to Jersey before reaching turning 1. His grandpa taught Phil penny-ante 5-Card Stud poker. From then on on, Phil was hooked on poker and wanted to discover whatever he could about poker. He routinely would tell his elders that he wanted to be a professional poker player. He didn’t let the adverse comments from other people destroy his dream of being one of the strongest poker players on the planet.

He started competing intently after acquiring a fake ID by the name of Jerome. He practiced his abilities at the poker rooms in Atlantic City. The first number of years for Phil were a learning period and coming away with a win wasn’t a common outcome at the time. Phil became known at the 2000 World Series of Poker when he achieved two final tables and came away with his 1st WSOP bracelet, in a two dollar, five hundred Pot-Limit Omaha game. At the last table he destroyed many of the well known professionals which includes "Amarillo Slim" Preston, David "Devilfish" Ulliot, and Phil Hellmuth, Jr.

Phil made a decision to take his game to the successive level and headed out west to Vegas. He continues to participate in in "The Big Game" at the Bellagio with the best players on the planet. Phil credits his success to dedication and an immeasurable love for poker. Phil states that he is picking up skills every day and is very abashed about his accomplishments. Phil knows he makes blunders every single session of poker and constantly strives to get better.

Although Phil has won some big-time tournaments, he likes destroying cash games on a normal basis.
