No-Limit Texas Hold’em Poker- Who is Phil Ivey?
Saturday, 12. October 2019
Phil Ivey has been labeled as the number one poker competitor on the globe by most of the top-ranked pros. He was born in Riverside, CA and relocated to Jersey before his first birthday. His papa taught Phil one cent-ante Five-Card Stud poker. From then on on, Phil was addicted to poker and wanted to learn whatever he could about the game. He routinely told his grandparents that he was planning on being a professional poker player. Phil did not permit the detrimental comments from others annihilate his ambition of becoming one of the strongest poker competitors in the world.
Phil started competing seriously after acquiring a false ID with the name of Jerome. He sharpened his skills at the casinos in Atlantic City. The initial few years for him were a learning period and coming away with a win was not a common outcome at the time. He became known at the 2000 World Series of Poker when he achieved two final tables and won his 1st World Series of Poker bracelet, in a two dollar, 500 Pot-Limit Omaha match. At the closing table he defeated quite a few of the better known pros which includes "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 Las Vegas. Phil continues to play in "The Big Game" at the Bellagio with the best players on the planet. Ivey credits his achievements to dedication and an immeasurable passion for poker. He says that he is picking up skills every single day and is quite humble about his achievements. Phil admits to making blunders every single session of poker and constantly strives to improve.
Despite the fact that Ivey has come first in some big tournaments, he likes destroying cash games on a normal basis.
