Phil Ivey has been labeled as the number one poker contender on the planet by quite a few of the top-ranked professionals. He was born in Riverside, CA and moved to Jersey before his first birthday. His papa taught him penny-ante 5-Card Stud poker. From then on on, Phil was addicted to poker and wished to learn anything he possibly could about the game. He would tell his elders that he was going to be a professional poker player. Phil didn’t let the detrimental comments from others annihilate his goal of becoming one of the strongest poker competitors in the world.

Phil started playing seriously after getting a fake ID by the name of Jerome. He practiced his skills at the casinos of Atlantic City. The initial few years for him were a learning opportunity and coming away with a win was not a regular thing at the time. Phil made his mark at the 2000 WSOP where he made 2 final tables and won his first World Series of Poker bracelet, in a two dollar, five hundred Pot-Limit Omaha match. At the final table he defeated many 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 skills to the next level and moved out west to Vegas. Phil continues to play in "The Big Game" at the Bellagio with the greatest players in the world. Phil credits his achievements to dedication and an eternal love for poker. He states that he is learning every single day and is very humble about his achievements. Phil knows he makes errors every single game of poker and always aspires to get better.

Despite the fact that Ivey has won some big tournaments, he prefers destroying cash games on a normal basis.
