Phil Ivey has been labeled as the best poker competitor on the planet by quite a few of the top-ranked pros. Phil was born in Riverside, CA and moved to New Jersey before his first birthday. His grandfather taught Phil penny-ante 5-Card Stud poker. From that point on, Phil was addicted to poker and wanted to discover everything he could about poker. He routinely told his elders that he was going to be a professional poker player. Phil didn’t permit the negative comments from others kill his dream of becoming one of the greatest poker players in the world.

Phil started playing intently after getting a false ID by the name of Jerome. He practiced his techniques at the poker rooms of Atlantic City. The initial few years for him were a learning experience and winning wasn’t a normal thing at the time. He became known at the 2000 WSOP when he made two final tables and won his 1st WSOP bracelet, in a $2, 500 Pot-Limit Omaha event. At the last table he defeated quite a few of the well known pros including but not limited to "Amarillo Slim" Preston, David "Devilfish" Ulliot, and Phil Hellmuth, Jr.

Phil decided to take his skills to the successive level and moved out west to Las Vegas. Phil continues to participate in in "The Big Game" at the Bellagio with the greatest players in the world. Ivey credits his success to dedication and an eternal love for the game of poker. He states that he is learning every day and is incredibly abashed about his achievements. He knows he makes mistakes every single game of poker and constantly aspires to improve.

Despite the fact that Phil has come first in some big-time tournaments, he likes destroying money games on a normal basis.
