Phil Ivey burst onto the poker scene over the last couple of years and is now considered one of the top poker players in the world and many consider him to be the future of the game.
Although he is often referred to as the "Tiger Woods" of poker, it is a name he is somewhat uncomfortable with. "Tiger is the best at his game. I'm not there, yet" says Phil. He is only 27 years old but has been playing poker professionally for 10 years.
He is a highly-focused and very consistent player who often places high in the money in a lot of the tournaments he plays in. Phil finished 10th in the 2003 World Series of Poker. The only reason he didn't finished better was Chris Moneymaker made a higher full-house on the river to beat him.
Originally from California but living in Atlantic City, he is a strong seven card stud player in addition to being a strong and solid No Limit player, as evidenced by his win at the 2002 World Series of Poker and his placement at the final table in the 2003 event.
Keep an eye out for Phil on the final tables of many games to come. |
