Phil Ivey has been referred to as the best poker contender on the globe by quite a few of the top-ranked professionals. Phil Ivey was born in Riverside, CA and relocated to New Jersey before reaching the age of one. His papa taught him penny-ante Five-Card Stud poker. From that point on, Phil was addicted to poker and wished to learn whatever he possibly could about poker. Phil would tell his grandparents that he was going to be a professional poker player. He did not permit the adverse comments from other people kill his ambition of being one of the greatest poker competitors on the planet.

He started playing seriously after acquiring a fake ID by the name of Jerome. He sharpened his abilities at the casinos in Atlantic City. The initial number of years for him were a learning experience and coming away with a win was not a regular thing at the time. He made his mark at the 2000 WSOP where he achieved two final tables and won his first World Series of Poker bracelet, in a two dollar, 500 Pot-Limit Omaha game. At the last table he defeated a number of the better known pros which includes "Amarillo Slim" Preston, David "Devilfish" Ulliot, and Phil Hellmuth, Jr.

He decided to take his skills to the successive level and headed out west to Sin City. Phil continues to compete in in "The Big Game" at the Bellagio with the greatest players in the world. Phil credits his success to discipline and an undying love for poker. He states that he is learning every day and is quite humble about his achievements. Phil knows he makes mistakes every single session of poker and always strives to improve.

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