No-Limit Hold’em Poker- Who is Phil Ivey?
Phil Ivey has been referred to as the best poker contender in the world by many of the top professionals. Phil Ivey was born in Riverside, CA and relocated to New Jersey before reaching turning one. His papa showed him to penny-ante 5-Card Stud poker. From then on on, he was hooked on poker and wanted to learn every little thing he could about poker. He would tell his parents that he was going to be a professional poker player. Phil did not permit the adverse comments from others annihilate his ambition of becoming one of the strongest poker players on the planet.
He began playing seriously after getting a false ID by the name of Jerome. He honed his skills at the casinos of Atlantic City. The first few years for him were a learning period and coming away with a win wasn’t a common outcome at the time. He made his mark at the 2000 WSOP where he achieved 2 final tables and won his 1st World Series of Poker bracelet, in a two dollar, five hundred Pot-Limit Omaha game. At the last table he destroyed a number of the well known pros which includes "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 Las Vegas. He continues to compete in in "The Big Game" at the Bellagio with the greatest players on the planet. Phil credits his success to discipline and an immeasurable passion for the game of poker. Phil says that he is learning every day and is very humble about his accomplishments. Phil admits to making mistakes in each session of poker and constantly aspires to improve.
Despite the fact that Phil has come first in some big tournaments, he prefers winning money games on a normal basis.
