Phil Ivey has been branded as the best poker competitor in the world by many of the top professionals. Phil was born in Riverside, CA and relocated to New Jersey before reaching the age of one. His papa taught him one cent-ante Five-Card Stud poker. From then on on, he was hooked on poker and wished to discover anything he possibly could about poker. Phil routinely told his elders that he was planning on being a professional poker player. Phil didn’t let the detrimental feedback from other people annihilate his ambition of becoming one of the greatest poker players on the planet.

He started playing intently after getting a false ID by the name of Jerome. He sharpened his techniques at the poker rooms of Atlantic City. The beginning few years for him were a learning opportunity and coming away with a win was not a regular outcome at the time. Phil made his mark at the 2000 World Series of Poker where he achieved 2 final tables and won his 1st WSOP bracelet, in a $2, five hundred Pot-Limit Omaha match. At the last table he defeated quite a few of the well known pros which includes "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 Vegas. Phil continues to compete in in "The Big Game" at the Bellagio with the best players on the planet. Phil credits his success to discipline and an immeasurable passion for poker. Phil states that he is learning every day and is quite abashed about his success. He admits to making errors in each game of poker and constantly aspires to improve.

Even though Phil has come first in some big tournaments, he likes destroying cash games on a regular basis.
