NL Hold’em Poker- Who is Phil Ivey?

June 4th, 2022 at 9:25

Phil Ivey has been referred to as the greatest poker player on the planet by quite a few of the top pros. Phil Ivey was born in Riverside, CA and moved to New Jersey before reaching the age of 1. His grandfather showed him to penny-ante 5-Card Stud poker. From then on on, he was hooked on poker and wanted to discover whatever he possibly could about the game. Phil routinely told his grandparents that he was going to be a professional poker player. He didn’t permit the detrimental feedback from other people kill his ambition of being one of the best poker players on the planet.

Phil started playing seriously after acquiring a false ID with the name of Jerome. He practiced his game at the casinos in Atlantic City. The initial number of years for him were a learning opportunity and winning was not a common outcome at the time. He made his mark at the 2000 WSOP when he made two final tables and won his first WSOP bracelet, in a two dollar, 500 Pot-Limit Omaha event. At the closing table he destroyed a number of the better known professionals including but not limited to "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 Sin City. He continues to compete in in "The Big Game" at the Bellagio with the greatest players in the world. Phil credits his achievements to discipline and a continuing love for the game of poker. He says that he is picking up skills every single day and is quite abashed about his accomplishments. Phil admits to making blunders in each session of poker and always strives to get better.

Although Ivey has come first in some big-time tournaments, he likes winning money games on a normal basis.
