>> Phil Ivey's Web SiteAlthough his first WSOP bracelet came in 2001, Ivey didn’t officially grab the attention of the poker world until he captured three bracelets in 2002, tied for the most in a single year record with Ted Forrest and Phil Hellmuth. He is a regular in “The Big Game” at the Bellagio and his exploits in high stakes poker have been immortalized in the poker classic The Professor, The Banker, and The Suicide King: An Inside Look at the richest Poker Game of All Time.
