Phil Ivey has been referred to as the greatest poker player on the globe by many of the top professionals. Phil was born in Riverside, CA and moved to Jersey before his first birthday. His grandpa taught him penny-ante 5-Card Stud poker. From then on on, Phil was hooked on poker and wished to pickup every little thing he possibly could about poker. He routinely told his grandparents that he was planning on being a professional poker player. He did not allow the adverse comments from other people kill his goal of becoming one of the strongest poker competitors in the world.

Phil began playing seriously after acquiring a false ID with the name of Jerome. He honed his techniques at the casinos of Atlantic City. The initial number of years for him were a teaching period and winning wasn’t a common outcome at the time. He made his mark at the 2000 WSOP when he achieved 2 final tables and came away with his 1st WSOP bracelet, in a $2, five hundred Pot-Limit Omaha match. At the last table he defeated a number of the well known pros including "Amarillo Slim" Preston, David "Devilfish" Ulliot, and Phil Hellmuth, Jr.

He made a decision to take his game to the successive level and moved out west to Sin City. He continues to participate in in "The Big Game" at the Bellagio with the greatest players on the planet. Ivey credits his achievements to hard work and an undying love for the game of poker. He says that he is picking up skills every single day and is very humble about his success. He knows he makes mistakes in each game of poker and constantly strives to get better.

Despite the fact that Phil has won some big-time tournaments, he likes winning cash games on a normal basis.
