Phil Ivey has been labeled as the greatest poker contender on the globe by quite a few of the top-ranked pros. He was born in Riverside, CA and relocated to Jersey before his first birthday. His grandfather showed him to one cent-ante Five-Card Stud poker. From that point on, he was hooked on poker and wanted to discover anything he possibly could about poker. He routinely told his parents that he was going to be a professional poker player. He did not let the detrimental comments from others kill his ambition of becoming one of the best poker competitors in the world.

Phil started competing intently after getting a fake ID by the name of Jerome. He sharpened his abilities at the casinos of Atlantic City. The initial few years for him were a learning period and coming away with a win was not a regular thing at the time. Phil became known at the 2000 WSOP when he made 2 final tables and came away with his first WSOP bracelet, in a two dollar, five hundred Pot-Limit Omaha game. At the final table he defeated quite a few of the better known professionals which includes "Amarillo Slim" Preston, David "Devilfish" Ulliot, and Phil Hellmuth, Jr.

Phil made a decision to take his game to the successive level and moved out west to Vegas. He continues to compete in in "The Big Game" at the Bellagio with the best players on the planet. Ivey credits his achievements to dedication and an immeasurable passion for the game of poker. Phil states that he’s picking up skills every single day and is quite humble about his success. He admits to making blunders in each session of poker and constantly aspires to improve.

Even though Ivey has come first in some large tournaments, he likes winning money games on a normal basis.
