His grandfather showed him to one cent-ante Five-Card Stud poker. From that point on, Phil was hooked on poker and wanted to discover anything he could about poker.

He did not permit the detrimental comments from other people annihilate his ambition of becoming one of the strongest poker competitors in the world.
Phil started competing intently after getting a false ID by the name of Jerome. He practiced his abilities at the poker rooms of Atlantic City. The beginning number of years for him 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 achieved 2 final tables and came away with his first World Series of Poker bracelet, in a two dollar, 500 Pot-Limit Omaha event. At the last table he destroyed a number of the well known professionals which includes "Amarillo Slim" Preston, David "Devilfish" Ulliot, and Phil Hellmuth, Jr.
Phil made a decision to take his skills to the successive level and moved out west to Vegas. He continues to compete in in "The Big Game" at the Bellagio with the greatest players in the world. Ivey credits his success to dedication and an eternal love for poker. Phil says that he is learning every single day and is very humble about his accomplishments. He admits to making errors in each session of poker and always aspires to improve.
Despite the fact that Phil has won some big-time tournaments, he favors winning money games on a normal basis.
