Phil Ivey has been labeled as the best poker competitor on the globe by quite a few of the top pros. Phil was born in Riverside, CA and relocated to Jersey before his first birthday. His papa taught him one cent-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. Phil routinely told his elders that he wanted to be a professional poker player. He did not allow the adverse comments from others kill his dream of being one of the strongest poker players on the planet.

He started playing intently after getting a false ID with the name of Jerome. He sharpened his skills at the poker rooms of Atlantic City. The first number of years for Phil were a learning experience and winning wasn't a regular thing at the time. He made his mark at the 2000 World Series of Poker where he made 2 final tables and won his 1st WSOP bracelet, in a $2, five hundred Pot-Limit Omaha game. At the final table he defeated a number of the well known pros which includes "Amarillo Slim" Preston, David "Devilfish" Ulliot, and Phil Hellmuth, Jr.

He decided to take his game to the successive level and moved out west to Sin City. He continues to play in "The Big Game" at the Bellagio with the greatest players on the planet. Phil credits his success to dedication and an undying love for the game of poker. He says that he is learning every single day and is incredibly abashed about his achievements. He knows he makes mistakes every single session of poker and constantly strives to get better.

Despite the fact that Ivey has won some big-time tournaments, he prefers destroying money games on a normal basis.
