Phil Ivey has been labeled as the greatest poker competitor in the world by quite a few of the top professionals. He was born in Riverside, CA and relocated to Jersey before reaching the age of one. His papa taught Phil penny-ante Five-Card Stud poker. From then on on, Phil was addicted to poker and wished to pickup anything he possibly could about poker. He routinely told his elders that he wanted to be a professional poker player. He didn’t permit the adverse feedback from other people annihilate his ambition of being one of the best poker players on the planet.

Phil began competing intently after acquiring a false ID with the name of Jerome. He practiced his abilities at the casinos in Atlantic City. The first few years for Phil were a teaching period and winning wasn’t a common thing at the time. Phil became known at the 2000 World Series of Poker where he made two final tables and came away with his 1st World Series of Poker bracelet, in a two dollar, five hundred Pot-Limit Omaha event. At the last table he defeated quite a few of the better known pros including but not limited to "Amarillo Slim" Preston, David "Devilfish" Ulliot, and Phil Hellmuth, Jr.

Phil made a decision to take his skills to the next level and moved out west to Vegas. Phil continues to compete in in "The Big Game" at the Bellagio with the greatest players in the world. Phil credits his achievements to dedication and a continuing love for poker. Phil says that he’s learning every day and is very abashed about his achievements. He knows he makes blunders in each session of poker and constantly aspires to improve.

Despite the fact that Phil has won some big tournaments, he prefers destroying cash games on a normal basis.
