Phil Ivey grew up in New Jersey and has many World Series of Poker bracelets, the first in 2000 when he was only 23 years old. He lives in Las Vegas with his wife, Luciaetta. His grandfather taught him to play five-card stud as a child and by 16, Ivey started playing for money. It wasn't long after turning 21 that he became a poker pro.
