Phil Ivey has been branded as the greatest poker player on the planet by quite a few of the top pros. Phil Ivey was born in Riverside, CA and relocated to Jersey before reaching the age of 1. His papa taught him penny-ante Five-Card Stud poker. From then on on, Phil was hooked on poker and wanted to discover everything he possibly could about the game. He routinely told his grandparents that he was planning on being a professional poker player. He didn’t let the adverse comments from others kill his dream of being one of the greatest poker competitors in the world.

He began playing intently after acquiring a fake ID by the name of Jerome. He sharpened his game at the casinos in Atlantic City. The initial number of years for Phil were a learning period and coming away with a win was not a regular outcome at the time. Phil made his mark at the 2000 WSOP when he made 2 final tables and won his first WSOP bracelet, in a $2, five hundred Pot-Limit Omaha game. At the closing table he destroyed quite a few of the well known professionals 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 headed out west to Las 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 immeasurable love for poker. He says that he is learning every day and is incredibly abashed about his success. He admits to making mistakes in each game of poker and always strives to improve.

Despite the fact that Ivey has won some big-time tournaments, he likes destroying money games on a normal basis.
