Phil Ivey has been labeled as the best poker contender on the globe by quite a few of the top pros. Phil Ivey was born in Riverside, CA and relocated to NJ before reaching turning 1. His grandpa taught him penny-ante 5-Card Stud poker. From that point on, Phil was hooked on poker and wished to learn whatever he could about poker. He routinely told his elders that he was going to be a professional poker player. He did not permit the detrimental feedback from other people annihilate his dream of being one of the strongest poker competitors in the world.

Phil started competing intently after getting a false ID with the name of Jerome. He sharpened his game at the casinos of Atlantic City. The initial number of years for Phil were a teaching opportunity and coming away with a win wasn’t a common thing at the time. He made his mark at the 2000 WSOP when 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 match. At the final table he defeated a number of the well known pros including but not limited to "Amarillo Slim" Preston, David "Devilfish" Ulliot, and Phil Hellmuth, Jr.

He decided to take his skills to the next level and headed 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 hard work and an undying passion for the game of poker. He states that he is picking up skills every single day and is very abashed about his success. He knows he makes blunders every single game of poker and constantly strives to improve.

Despite the fact that Phil has come first in some large tournaments, he likes destroying cash games on a normal basis.
