Phil Ivey has been labeled as the best poker player on the globe by most of the top-ranked pros. He was born in Riverside, CA and moved to NJ before reaching turning 1. His grandfather showed him to penny-ante 5-Card Stud poker. From then on on, Phil was addicted to poker and wanted to discover anything he could about the game. He routinely would tell his parents that he was going to be a professional poker player. Phil didn’t permit the detrimental feedback from other people destroy his goal of being one of the best poker players on the planet.

Phil began competing intently after getting a fake ID by the name of Jerome. He sharpened his game at the poker rooms in Atlantic City. The first number of years for him were a learning period and coming away with a win wasn’t a normal thing at the time. Phil made his mark at the 2000 World Series of Poker where he made 2 final tables and won his first World Series of Poker bracelet, in a $2, 500 Pot-Limit Omaha match. At the last table he destroyed a number of the well known pros which includes "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 Vegas. He continues to participate in in "The Big Game" at the Bellagio with the greatest players on the planet. Ivey credits his achievements to discipline and a continuing passion for poker. He says that he is learning every single day and is incredibly abashed about his accomplishments. He knows he makes blunders in each session of poker and constantly aspires to improve.

Even though Ivey has come first in some big tournaments, he likes winning money games on a normal basis.
