Player Bios: Phil Ivey
Winner of five WSOP bracelets, Ivey is fresh off a victory in last week's L.A. Poker Classic where he took home a $1.5 million dollar paycheck.
Also known for his gamble on the golf course, Ivey recently teamed up with fellow poker pro David Oppenheim for the inaugural Doyle Brunson and Dewey Tomko Invitational, produced by High Stakes Entertainment and ESPN. Ivey and Oppenheim collected a cool $1 million for their efforts.
