Phil Ivey has been referred to as the greatest poker contender on the globe by quite a few of the top-ranked professionals. He was born in Riverside, CA and relocated to NJ before reaching turning one. His papa taught Phil one cent-ante 5-Card Stud poker. From that point on, Phil was hooked on poker and wished to learn every little thing he possibly could about poker. He routinely would tell his grandparents that he was planning on being a professional poker player. Phil did not let the negative comments from other people kill his dream of becoming one of the strongest poker players on the planet.

Phil began competing intently after getting a fake ID with the name of Jerome. He practiced his game at the poker rooms in Atlantic City. The initial few years for him were a teaching experience and winning wasn't a regular outcome at the time. Phil made his mark at the 2000 World Series of Poker when he made 2 final tables and won his first WSOP bracelet, in a $2, five hundred Pot-Limit Omaha match. At the final table he destroyed a number of the better known professionals including but not limited to "Amarillo Slim" Preston, David "Devilfish" Ulliot, and Phil Hellmuth, Jr.

He made a decision to take his game to the next level and moved 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 success to discipline and a continuing passion for the game of poker. Phil says that he is picking up skills every single day and is very abashed about his success. He admits to making mistakes every single session of poker and always strives to get better.

Although Phil has come first in some big tournaments, he favors destroying cash games on a normal basis.
