At 16, Phil started playing more seriously, involving money during his gambling. In this period, the young man started to play in an amateur way, since at that time Phil could not support himself only as a player. In the meantime, the Californian also worked for a telemarketing operator, and reconciled the activity with his amateur poker game.
