Phil Ivey has been branded as the number one poker contender on the globe by most of the top pros. Phil Ivey was born in Riverside, CA and moved to New Jersey before reaching turning one. His papa introduced him to penny-ante 5-Card Stud poker. From that point on, Phil was addicted to poker and wished to discover whatever he could about the game. Phil routinely told his elders that he wanted to be a professional poker player. He did not allow the detrimental feedback from others annihilate his ambition of being one of the strongest poker players in the world.

Phil started playing intently after acquiring a false ID with the name of Jerome. He honed his game at the casinos in Atlantic City. The first number of years for him were a learning period and winning was not a regular outcome at the time. He made his mark at the 2000 WSOP where he made 2 final tables and won his 1st World Series of Poker bracelet, in a two dollar, 500 Pot-Limit Omaha event. At the last table he defeated a number of the well known pros including but not limited to "Amarillo Slim" Preston, David "Devilfish" Ulliot, and Phil Hellmuth, Jr.

Phil decided to take his skills to the next level and moved out west to Vegas. 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 an eternal passion for poker. He states that he's learning every day and is very abashed about his success. He knows he makes blunders every single game of poker and always aspires to get better.

Despite the fact that Ivey has won some large tournaments, he favors winning money games on a regular basis.
