Phil Ivey has been labeled as the greatest poker player on the globe by quite a few of the top pros. He was born in Riverside, CA and moved to New Jersey before his first birthday. His papa taught him penny-ante 5-Card Stud poker. From that point on, Phil was addicted to poker and wished to learn every little thing he could about poker. Phil routinely told his elders that he wanted to be a professional poker player. He did not permit the detrimental feedback from others annihilate his ambition of becoming one of the strongest poker competitors on the planet.

Phil began competing seriously after getting a false ID with the name of Jerome. He practiced his game at the casinos in Atlantic City. The first few years for him were a learning period and winning was not a regular outcome at the time. Phil became known at the 2000 WSOP when he made two final tables and came away with his first WSOP bracelet, in a $2, 500 Pot-Limit Omaha match. At the last table he defeated a number of the well known pros including "Amarillo Slim" Preston, David "Devilfish" Ulliot, and Phil Hellmuth, Jr.

Phil decided to take his game to the successive level and moved out west to Vegas. He continues to play in "The Big Game" at the Bellagio with the best players in the world. Ivey credits his achievements to hard work and an eternal love for poker. Phil states that he is picking up skills every day and is incredibly abashed about his accomplishments. Phil knows he makes mistakes every single game of poker and constantly strives to improve.

Despite the fact that Phil has won some big tournaments, he likes destroying money games on a normal basis.
