No-Limit Texas Holdem Poker- Who is Phil Ivey?
Phil Ivey has been referred to as the best poker player on the planet by most of the top-ranked pros. Phil Ivey was born in Riverside, CA and moved to Jersey before reaching turning 1. His papa taught him one cent-ante Five-Card Stud poker. From that point on, he was addicted to poker and wished to learn whatever he possibly could about the game. Phil would tell his grandparents that he was going to be a professional poker player. He didn’t let the detrimental feedback from other people annihilate his ambition of being one of the strongest poker competitors on the planet.
Phil began playing seriously after acquiring a false ID by the name of Jerome. He honed his techniques at the casinos in Atlantic City. The first number of years for Phil were a teaching period and coming away with a win wasn’t a regular outcome at the time. Phil became known at the 2000 World Series of Poker when he achieved two final tables and won his first World Series of Poker bracelet, in a two dollar, five hundred Pot-Limit Omaha event. At the closing table he destroyed many of the well known professionals which includes "Amarillo Slim" Preston, David "Devilfish" Ulliot, and Phil Hellmuth, Jr.
He decided to take his skills to the next level and headed out west to Las Vegas. Phil continues to compete in in "The Big Game" at the Bellagio with the best players on the planet. Ivey credits his success to dedication and an undying passion for the game of poker. Phil says that he’s picking up skills every single day and is incredibly abashed about his accomplishments. He admits to making blunders every single game of poker and constantly aspires to improve.
Despite the fact that Ivey has come first in some big tournaments, he likes destroying money games on a regular basis.
