Phil Ivey has been referred to as the number one poker competitor on the globe by many of the top-ranked professionals. Phil Ivey was born in Riverside, CA and moved to NJ before reaching turning one. His grandfather taught Phil one cent-ante 5-Card Stud poker. From that point on, he was addicted to poker and wanted to learn everything he possibly could about the game. Phil would tell his elders that he was going to be a professional poker player. He did not allow the adverse feedback from others annihilate his ambition of becoming one of the greatest poker players on the planet.

He started playing seriously after acquiring a false ID with the name of Jerome. He honed his techniques at the poker rooms in Atlantic City. The initial number of years for him were a teaching experience and coming away with a win was not a normal thing at the time. Phil became known at the 2000 WSOP when he made two final tables and came away with his first World Series of Poker bracelet, in a $2, 500 Pot-Limit Omaha match. At the final 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 game to the next level and headed out west to Vegas. Phil continues to play in "The Big Game" at the Bellagio with the best players in the world. Phil credits his success to hard work and an undying love for the game of poker. He says that he is picking up skills every single day and is quite abashed about his accomplishments. He knows he makes blunders in each session of poker and always strives to get better.

Despite the fact that Phil has won some big tournaments, he likes winning money games on a normal basis.
