Phil Ivey has been referred to as the number one poker competitor on the planet by most of the top-ranked professionals. He was born in Riverside, CA and moved to NJ before reaching the age of one. His grandfather taught Phil penny-ante 5-Card Stud poker. From that point on, he was addicted to poker and wanted to learn whatever he could about poker. Phil routinely would tell his elders that he was going to be a professional poker player. He did not permit the negative feedback from others annihilate his goal of becoming one of the best poker competitors in the world.

Phil 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 few years for Phil were a learning experience and coming away with a win wasn’t a regular thing at the time. Phil became known at the 2000 World Series of Poker where he made two final tables and won his first WSOP bracelet, in a $2, 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 game 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 on the planet. Phil credits his success to discipline and an eternal love for poker. Phil says that he is learning every single day and is very abashed about his success. He knows he makes errors in each game of poker and constantly strives to get better.

Even though Ivey has come first in some large tournaments, he likes winning money games on a normal basis.
