Phil Ivey has been labeled as the greatest poker competitor on the globe by most of the top-ranked pros. He was born in Riverside, CA and moved to Jersey before his first birthday. His papa taught him penny-ante 5-Card Stud poker. From that point on, he was addicted to poker and wished to learn every little thing he could about poker. He routinely would tell his grandparents that he was planning on being a professional poker player. Phil didn’t permit the adverse comments from other people destroy his dream of being one of the greatest poker competitors on the planet.

He began playing seriously after getting a false ID by the name of Jerome. He honed his abilities at the poker rooms of Atlantic City. The initial number of years for Phil were a teaching period and winning wasn’t a regular outcome at the time. Phil made his mark at the 2000 WSOP when he made two final tables and won his 1st World Series of Poker bracelet, in a $2, 500 Pot-Limit Omaha match. At the final table he destroyed quite a few of the well known professionals including but not limited to "Amarillo Slim" Preston, David "Devilfish" Ulliot, and Phil Hellmuth, Jr.

Phil decided to take his game to the next level and headed out west to Sin City. Phil continues to participate in in "The Big Game" at the Bellagio with the greatest players on the planet. Ivey credits his achievements to hard work and an immeasurable love for the game of poker. Phil says that he is picking up skills every single day and is very abashed about his achievements. Phil knows he makes mistakes every single session of poker and constantly strives to improve.

Despite the fact that Phil has come first in some big-time tournaments, he favors destroying cash games on a regular basis.
