My name is Phil Ivey and I play online poker exclusively at Full Tilt Poker.

To learn more about my poker career, please keep reading...

I grew up in New Jersey, where I started my pro poker career in Atlantic City.

I won my first WSOP title at the age of 23 when I beat Phil Helmuth and Amarillo Slim in the Pot-Limit Omaha event. Two years later in 2002, I won three more WSOP titles. I've won two Bellagio tournaments, one WPO, two Commerce tournaments, and have made my share of WPT final tables.

2005 was a good year, with two more WPT final tables, a second place finish in the WSOP Circuit Event at Harrah's Lake Tahoe, and the addition of my fifth WSOP bracelet in the $5,000 Pot-Limit Omaha tournament. Most recently, I won $1 Million for my first-place finish at the Monte Carlo Millions tournament, and an additional $600,000 for my first-place finish at "The FullTiltPoker.Net Invitational Live from Monte Carlo."

In January 2006, I received three incredible honors, being named Player of the Year by All In Magazine, Bluff Magazine, and the UK Gaming Awards.

I married my high school sweetheart and we currently live in Las Vegas, Nevada.
