Phil Ivey has been labeled as the number one poker player in the world by most of the top-ranked professionals. He was born in Riverside, CA and moved to New Jersey before reaching the age of one. His grandpa taught him penny-ante Five-Card Stud poker. From that point on, Phil was addicted to poker and wished to discover everything he could about poker. He routinely told his parents that he wanted to be a professional poker player. Phil did not allow the adverse comments from others annihilate his ambition of becoming one of the best poker competitors in the world.

He began competing intently after getting a fake ID with the name of Jerome. He honed his techniques at the casinos in Atlantic City. The initial number of years for Phil were a learning opportunity and coming away with a win was not a common thing at the time. He made his mark at the 2000 World Series of Poker when he achieved 2 final tables and won his 1st WSOP bracelet, in a $2, 500 Pot-Limit Omaha match. At the last table he destroyed a number of the well known pros including "Amarillo Slim" Preston, David "Devilfish" Ulliot, and Phil Hellmuth, Jr.

Phil decided to take his skills to the next level and moved out west to Sin City. Phil continues to play in "The Big Game" at the Bellagio with the greatest players on the planet. Ivey credits his success to discipline and a continuing passion for the game of poker. Phil states that he’s picking up skills every single day and is very humble about his success. Phil admits to making blunders every single game of poker and constantly strives to get better.

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