At 27 years old, Phil Ivey has become a force to be reckoned with. Often referred to as the “Tiger Woods,” of poker – though he will say he’s not deserving of such a comparison – Phil is an ambassador for a new generation of players.

Phil grew up in New Jersey, got his start on the green felt in Atlantic City. It wouldn’t take long for his career to get a big boost, when he won his first three World Series of Poker title at the age of 23.

In February of 2006, Phil played heads-up with Andy Beal, a mathematician who has gained fame for his challenges of big-name poker players. By the end of a three-day heads-up match, Phil Ivey had taken $16.6 Million from Beal.

Married to his highschool sweetheart, currently resides in Las Vegas, Nevada.
