Phil Ivey has been referred to as the greatest poker contender on the globe by quite a few of the top-ranked pros. He was born in Riverside, CA and relocated to New Jersey before his first birthday. His papa taught him one cent-ante Five-Card Stud poker. From that point on, Phil was hooked on poker and wished to pickup every little thing he could about poker. Phil would tell his grandparents that he was going to be a professional poker player. He did not permit the adverse comments from other people destroy his dream of being one of the greatest poker players on the planet.

Phil began playing intently after getting a false ID by the name of Jerome. He sharpened his game at the casinos in Atlantic City. The initial number of years for him were a teaching experience and coming away with a win wasn't a normal thing at the time. He became known at the 2000 World Series of Poker when he achieved 2 final tables and won his first World Series of Poker bracelet, in a $2, five hundred Pot-Limit Omaha match. At the final table he defeated many of the well known pros including but not limited to "Amarillo Slim" Preston, David "Devilfish" Ulliot, and Phil Hellmuth, Jr.

Phil made a decision to take his game to the successive level and moved out west to Sin City. Phil continues to play in "The Big Game" at the Bellagio with the greatest players in the world. Phil credits his achievements to dedication and a continuing passion for poker. Phil states that he's learning every single day and is very abashed about his success. He admits to making blunders every single session of poker and constantly aspires to improve.

Although Ivey has come first in some big tournaments, he prefers destroying money games on a normal basis.
