Phil Ivey has been branded as the number one poker player on the globe by many of the top-ranked pros. Phil Ivey was born in Riverside, CA and relocated to Jersey before reaching the age of 1. His papa showed him to penny-ante 5-Card Stud poker. From then on on, Phil was hooked on poker and wished to discover anything he could about poker. Phil would tell his elders that he was going to be a professional poker player. He didn't let the adverse comments from others destroy his dream of being one of the best poker players on the planet.

Phil began competing seriously after getting a false ID by the name of Jerome. He sharpened his game at the casinos of Atlantic City. The first number of years for Phil were a teaching opportunity and winning was not a common thing at the time. Phil became known at the 2000 WSOP where he made two final tables and won his 1st World Series of Poker bracelet, in a two dollar, five hundred Pot-Limit Omaha match. At the last table he destroyed quite a few of the well known pros which includes "Amarillo Slim" Preston, David "Devilfish" Ulliot, and Phil Hellmuth, Jr.

He decided to take his skills to the successive level and moved out west to Vegas. Phil continues to play in "The Big Game" at the Bellagio with the best players on the planet. Phil credits his success to hard work and an undying love for the game of poker. He says that he's learning every day and is quite humble about his accomplishments. He admits to making mistakes in each game of poker and always strives to improve.

Despite the fact that Phil has won some large tournaments, he favors winning cash games on a normal basis.
