Phil Ivey has been branded as the greatest poker contender on the globe by most of the top-ranked professionals. Phil Ivey was born in Riverside, CA and moved to Jersey before reaching turning one. His grandpa taught Phil one cent-ante 5-Card Stud poker. From then on on, he was addicted to poker and wished to discover whatever he could about the game. Phil would tell his grandparents that he was going to be a professional poker player. Phil didn't permit the detrimental comments from others kill his goal of becoming one of the strongest poker competitors in the world.

He began competing seriously after getting a false ID by the name of Jerome. He honed his techniques at the casinos of Atlantic City. The first number of years for Phil were a learning experience and coming away with a win was not a normal thing at the time. He made his mark at the 2000 World Series of Poker when he made two final tables and won his 1st WSOP bracelet, in a $2, five hundred Pot-Limit Omaha match. At the closing table he destroyed quite a few of the better known pros including "Amarillo Slim" Preston, David "Devilfish" Ulliot, and Phil Hellmuth, Jr.

Phil made a decision to take his game to the successive level and headed out west to Las Vegas. Phil continues to compete in in "The Big Game" at the Bellagio with the greatest players in the world. Phil credits his achievements to dedication and an undying passion for poker. Phil says that he's learning every day and is incredibly humble about his success. Phil knows he makes errors every single session of poker and always aspires to get better.

Despite the fact that Ivey has come first in some big tournaments, he likes destroying money games on a normal basis.
