Phil Ivey is known throughout the world, and not just the poker world.

Whether it’s being the biggest winner in online poker for years, the most feared name on High Stakes Poker line-ups, a multi-game poker tournament champion and cash game professional, the face of multiple online poker sites, or one of the most mysterious poker strategy thinkers, he’s known and his skills are respected.

The first time I ever saw Phil Ivey on TV was the WSOP Main Event bust-out hand that preceded the Moneymaker boom. As a poker novice at the time, his stoic response to a truly bad beat was inspiring.

From watching his TV poker highlights (that Paul Jackson hand in Monte Carlo!) as a fan to eventually sitting at the same online and live poker tables - I’ve had the pleasure of battling Phil Ivey at the highest stakes poker had to offer.

Whether it was online or live poker, I hope my breadth of experience with Phil Ivey can help highlight something new, or entertain you with a high stakes poker story you hadn’t heard before.
