Phil Ivey: From Poker Legend to Golf with Michael Jordan and Dinner with Obama


Phil Ivey is one of the most famous poker players of modern times. He has won over $26,400,000 in live tournaments. Phil Ivey played golf with Michael Jordan and dined with Barack Obama.

One of the most memorable hands in Phil Ivey's career was against Chris Moneymaker in the 2003 WSOP Main Event. Before the final table, Ivey lost a significant hand to Moneymaker, who went on to win the tournament.

I've spent years at the tables — cash and tournaments — and just as long shaping poker copy behind the scenes: room reviews, bonus fine print, tournament notes. At PokerInsider I write the way I wish more sites would: clear structure, honest trade-offs, no hype. Whether you're new or already grinding, I care about what the offer actually costs you — rake, variance, and the fine print — and I treat responsible play as part of the job, not a footnote.
