Phil Ivey has been referred to as the best poker competitor on the planet by many of the top professionals. Phil was born in Riverside, CA and moved to NJ before reaching turning 1. His papa showed him to one cent-ante 5-Card Stud poker. From then on on, he was addicted to poker and wished to pickup whatever he could about the game. He routinely told his elders that he wanted to be a professional poker player. He didn’t allow the negative feedback from other people kill his ambition of being one of the best poker players in the world.

He began playing seriously after acquiring a false ID with the name of Jerome. He sharpened his game at the poker rooms in Atlantic City. The initial few years for him were a learning opportunity and winning wasn’t a normal thing at the time. Phil made his mark at the 2000 World Series of Poker where he achieved 2 final tables and won his 1st World Series of Poker bracelet, in a $2, five hundred Pot-Limit Omaha match. At the last table he destroyed quite a few of the better known pros including but not limited to "Amarillo Slim" Preston, David "Devilfish" Ulliot, and Phil Hellmuth, Jr.

He decided to take his game to the next level and headed out west to Vegas. He continues to compete in in "The Big Game" at the Bellagio with the greatest players in the world. Ivey credits his success to dedication and a continuing love for poker. Phil says that he is learning every single day and is quite humble about his success. Phil knows he makes errors every single session of poker and always strives to improve.

Despite the fact that Phil has come first in some big tournaments, he prefers winning cash games on a regular basis.
