Phil Ivey has been branded as the best poker contender on the globe by quite a few of the top pros. Phil was born in Riverside, CA and relocated to Jersey before reaching turning one. His papa showed him to penny-ante 5-Card Stud poker. From then on on, he was addicted to poker and wanted to pickup everything he could about poker. Phil would tell his parents that he wanted to be a professional poker player. He didn't permit the adverse comments from other people annihilate his ambition of becoming one of the best poker competitors on the planet.

Phil began playing seriously after acquiring a false ID with the name of Jerome. He honed his skills at the casinos of Atlantic City. The beginning number of years for him were a learning period and coming away with a win was not a normal outcome at the time. He became known at the 2000 World Series of Poker where he achieved two final tables and won his first WSOP bracelet, in a $2, five hundred Pot-Limit Omaha match. At the final table he defeated quite a few of the well known pros including "Amarillo Slim" Preston, David "Devilfish" Ulliot, and Phil Hellmuth, Jr.

He decided to take his game to the next level and moved out west to Vegas. He continues to participate in in "The Big Game" at the Bellagio with the greatest players in the world.

He knows he makes mistakes in each session of poker and constantly strives to get better.

Despite the fact that Phil has come first in some large tournaments, he likes destroying cash games on a normal basis.
