Phil Ivey has been referred to as the number one poker player in the world by many of the top pros. He was born in Riverside, CA and moved to Jersey before his first birthday. His papa taught Phil one cent-ante Five-Card Stud poker. From then on on, Phil was hooked on poker and wished to discover everything he possibly could about poker. Phil would tell his parents that he was planning on being a professional poker player. Phil did not let the negative comments from others destroy his ambition of becoming one of the best poker players in the world.

Phil started playing seriously after getting a fake ID by the name of Jerome. He honed his techniques at the poker rooms in Atlantic City. The beginning number of years for Phil were a learning period and coming away with a win wasn’t a normal thing at the time. Phil made his mark at the 2000 World Series of Poker when he achieved 2 final tables and won his 1st World Series of Poker bracelet, in a two dollar, 500 Pot-Limit Omaha match. At the final table he destroyed a number of the well known pros including "Amarillo Slim" Preston, David "Devilfish" Ulliot, and Phil Hellmuth, Jr.

He made a decision to take his game to the successive level and headed out west to Sin City. He continues to compete in in "The Big Game" at the Bellagio with the greatest players on the planet. Phil credits his achievements to discipline and an undying passion for poker. He states that he’s learning every single day and is incredibly humble about his accomplishments. He knows he makes errors every single game of poker and constantly strives to improve.

Despite the fact that Ivey has come first in some big-time tournaments, he favors winning money games on a regular basis.
