Phil Ivey has been labeled as the greatest poker competitor in the world by quite a few of the top-ranked pros. Phil Ivey was born in Riverside, CA and moved to Jersey before reaching turning one. His papa taught him one cent-ante Five-Card Stud poker. From then on on, he was addicted to poker and wished to discover every little thing he could about poker. He would tell his elders that he wanted to be a professional poker player. He did not let the adverse comments from other people annihilate his ambition of being one of the greatest poker players in the world.

He began playing intently after acquiring a fake ID with the name of Jerome. He honed his skills at the poker rooms of Atlantic City. The beginning few years for him were a teaching opportunity and winning was not a common outcome at the time. He became known at the 2000 WSOP when he achieved two final tables and came away with his first World Series of Poker bracelet, in a two dollar, 500 Pot-Limit Omaha game. At the last table he destroyed a number of the well known pros which includes "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 Las Vegas. He continues to play in "The Big Game" at the Bellagio with the best players on the planet. Phil credits his success to dedication and an immeasurable love for poker. Phil says that he is learning every single day and is very humble about his accomplishments. Phil admits to making errors every single session of poker and always strives to get better.

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