Phil Ivey has been labeled as the number one poker player on the globe by many of the top-ranked pros. Phil was born in Riverside, CA and moved to Jersey before his first birthday. His grandfather taught him one cent-ante 5-Card Stud poker. From that point on, he was hooked on poker and wanted to learn anything he possibly could about poker. Phil routinely told his grandparents that he was going to be a professional poker player. Phil didn’t permit the negative comments from others annihilate his dream of becoming one of the greatest poker players in the world.
Phil began competing seriously after acquiring a fake ID by the name of Jerome. He sharpened his game at the poker rooms in Atlantic City. The first number of years for Phil were a learning opportunity and winning wasn’t a normal outcome at the time. He became known at the 2000 WSOP where he achieved two final tables and won his first World Series of Poker bracelet, in a $2, five hundred Pot-Limit Omaha game. At the final table he destroyed quite a few of the better known professionals which includes "Amarillo Slim" Preston, David "Devilfish" Ulliot, and Phil Hellmuth, Jr.
Phil made a decision to take his game to the next level and headed out west to Vegas. He continues to participate in in "The Big Game" at the Bellagio with the best players in the world. Phil credits his achievements to discipline and a continuing love for poker. He says that he’s picking up skills every day and is very abashed about his achievements. He knows he makes blunders in each game of poker and always aspires to get better.
Despite the fact that Phil has won some large tournaments, he favors winning money games on a normal basis.
