Phil Ivey has been labeled as the number one poker player on the planet by many of the top professionals. Phil Ivey was born in Riverside, CA and relocated to New Jersey before reaching the age of one. His grandpa taught him penny-ante Five-Card Stud poker. From that point on, Phil was hooked on poker and wanted to learn every little thing he possibly could about the game. Phil routinely told his elders that he wanted to be a professional poker player. He didn't let the detrimental comments from other people annihilate his goal of becoming one of the strongest poker competitors on the planet.

Phil began competing intently after getting a false ID with the name of Jerome. He sharpened his techniques at the casinos of Atlantic City. The initial few years for him were a teaching opportunity and coming away with a win wasn't a normal thing at the time. Phil made his mark at the 2000 WSOP when he made two final tables and won his first WSOP bracelet, in a $2, five hundred Pot-Limit Omaha game. At the closing table he destroyed a number of the better known pros including but not limited to "Amarillo Slim" Preston, David "Devilfish" Ulliot, and Phil Hellmuth, Jr.

He decided to take his game to the successive level and headed out west to Vegas. Phil continues to compete in in "The Big Game" at the Bellagio with the greatest players on the planet. Ivey credits his success to dedication and an undying passion for the game of poker. He says that he is picking up skills every day and is quite abashed about his achievements. Phil knows he makes errors every single session of poker and constantly strives to improve.

Despite the fact that Ivey has won some big tournaments, he favors winning money games on a normal basis.
