Phil Ivey has been labeled as the best poker player on the planet by many of the top professionals. Phil Ivey was born in Riverside, CA and moved to New Jersey before his first birthday. His papa taught him penny-ante 5-Card Stud poker. From then on on, he was hooked on poker and wished to pickup every little thing he could about poker. He routinely would tell his grandparents that he wanted to be a professional poker player. He didn't permit the detrimental feedback from others annihilate his ambition of being one of the greatest poker competitors in the world.

He began competing seriously after getting a false ID by the name of Jerome. He honed his game at the casinos of Atlantic City. The beginning few years for him were a learning opportunity and coming away with a win wasn't a regular outcome at the time. He made his mark at the 2000 World Series of Poker where he made two final tables and came away with his 1st World Series of Poker bracelet, in a two dollar, five hundred Pot-Limit Omaha game. 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.

Phil decided to take his game to the successive level and headed out west to Sin City. Phil continues to play in "The Big Game" at the Bellagio with the greatest players on the planet. Ivey credits his achievements to dedication and an undying passion for the game of poker. He states that he's picking up skills every day and is incredibly humble about his achievements. Phil admits to making errors every single game of poker and always aspires to improve.

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