NL Texas Hold’em Poker- Who is Phil Ivey?
Phil Ivey has been referred to as the greatest poker player on the planet by most of the top-ranked professionals. Phil was born in Riverside, CA and moved to Jersey before reaching turning 1. His grandfather taught Phil one cent-ante Five-Card Stud poker. From then on on, he was hooked on poker and wanted to pickup whatever he could about poker. He routinely told his elders that he was going to be a professional poker player. Phil didn’t let the adverse comments from others kill his ambition of being one of the strongest poker competitors on the planet.
He started competing seriously after getting a false ID by the name of Jerome. He sharpened his abilities at the poker rooms in Atlantic City. The beginning number of years for him were a teaching opportunity and winning wasn’t a regular thing at the time. He made his mark at the 2000 WSOP where he achieved 2 final tables and won his first World Series of Poker bracelet, in a $2, five hundred Pot-Limit Omaha event. At the last table he defeated quite a few of the better known professionals 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 Sin City. He continues to participate in in "The Big Game" at the Bellagio with the best players in the world. Phil credits his achievements to dedication and a continuing love for poker. He states that he’s picking up skills every single day and is incredibly abashed about his accomplishments. Phil knows he makes mistakes every single session of poker and always aspires to get better.
Despite the fact that Ivey has won some big tournaments, he prefers destroying cash games on a regular basis.
