Phil Ivey has been referred to as the best poker player on the globe by most of the top pros. Phil was born in Riverside, CA and moved to NJ before reaching the age of 1. His grandpa taught Phil penny-ante 5-Card Stud poker. From then on on, he was hooked on poker and wished to discover every little thing he possibly could about poker. He routinely told his elders that he was planning on being a professional poker player. Phil didn’t permit the adverse comments from other people annihilate his ambition of being one of the best poker players on the planet.

He began playing seriously after getting a fake ID with the name of Jerome. He honed his techniques at the casinos in Atlantic City. The first few years for Phil were a learning period and coming away with a win wasn’t a regular thing at the time. He made his mark at the 2000 WSOP when he achieved two final tables and came away with his first WSOP bracelet, in a $2, 500 Pot-Limit Omaha game. At the final table he destroyed a number of the better 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 headed out west to Sin City. Phil continues to compete in in "The Big Game" at the Bellagio with the greatest players in the world. Ivey credits his success to discipline and an undying passion for the game of poker. Phil states that he’s learning every day and is very abashed about his achievements. Phil knows he makes errors in each game of poker and constantly strives to get better.

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