Phil Ivey has been referred to as the number one poker player in the world by many of the top professionals. Phil Ivey was born in Riverside, CA and relocated to New Jersey before his first birthday. His grandpa showed him to penny-ante 5-Card Stud poker. From then on on, Phil was addicted to poker and wished to pickup anything he possibly could about the game. Phil routinely told his elders that he wanted to be a professional poker player. Phil did not permit the detrimental comments from others destroy his ambition of being one of the greatest poker players in the world.

He started playing seriously after getting a fake ID with the name of Jerome. He practiced his abilities at the casinos in Atlantic City. The initial number of years for Phil were a teaching period and winning was not a normal thing at the time. He made his mark at the 2000 World Series of Poker where he made two final tables and came away with his first World Series of Poker bracelet, in a $2, five hundred Pot-Limit Omaha game. At the closing table he destroyed many of the better known professionals 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 compete in in "The Big Game" at the Bellagio with the greatest players on the planet. Ivey credits his achievements to hard work and an undying passion for poker. He says that he’s picking up skills every single day and is very humble about his achievements. Phil knows he makes errors every single game of poker and always strives to get better.
