Phil Ivey has been labeled as the number one poker player in the world by many of the top-ranked pros. Phil was born in Riverside, CA and moved to New Jersey before reaching turning 1. His grandpa taught him one cent-ante Five-Card Stud poker. From then on on, he was hooked on poker and wanted to learn whatever he possibly could about poker. He routinely told his elders that he wanted to be a professional poker player. He didn’t allow the negative comments from others annihilate his ambition of being one of the strongest poker players on the planet.

Phil began competing seriously after getting a fake ID by the name of Jerome. He practiced his abilities at the casinos of Atlantic City. The beginning number of years for Phil were a learning experience and coming away with a win wasn’t a regular outcome at the time. He made his mark at the 2000 World Series of Poker where he achieved two final tables and won his first World Series of Poker bracelet, in a two dollar, five hundred Pot-Limit Omaha event. At the last table he destroyed a number of the better known pros including "Amarillo Slim" Preston, David "Devilfish" Ulliot, and Phil Hellmuth, Jr.

Phil decided to take his game to the successive level and headed out west to Sin City. Phil continues to play in "The Big Game" at the Bellagio with the greatest players in the world. Ivey credits his success to discipline and a continuing love for poker. He states that he’s learning every day and is very abashed about his success. He admits to making mistakes every single game of poker and always strives to get better.

Despite the fact that Phil has won some large tournaments, he likes destroying cash games on a regular basis.
