Arguably the best all-around player on the planet, Phil Ivey makes mince meat of the competition. Having originally started playing poker in Atlantic City casinos under a fake I.D., Ivey quickly learned the ins and outs of the game. Often known simply as “Jerome” because that was the name on his I.D., Ivey managed to begin earning a reputation that would vault him into the poker stratosphere.
Often referred to as the Tiger Woods of poker, there is little Ivey hasn’t done over the course of his young career. He has won seven World Series of Poker bracelets and one World Poker Tour title. Although he has won more WSOP bracelets than WPT titles, Ivey is the first player to set current record for the number of final table appearances by making eight WPT final tables.
Despite having ridiculous tournament results, Ivey’s poker reputation hinges on his stellar cash game abilities. A regular at the “Big Game” at Bobby’s Room in the Bellagio in Las Vegas, Ivey has no problems playing at the highest limits available (which can range from $1,000/$2,000 to $4,000/$8,000 antes).
