If you’ve ever flipped on ESPN and spent a few minutes watching the World Series of Poker, you have probably heard of Phil Ivey.
Young, athletic-looking and African American, he’s referred to himself as the “Michael Jordan of poker.” While not quite as famous as the former basketball star, Ivey is undoubtedly one of the best poker players in the world. He’s won nearly $20 million in online poker games alone. And when he’s not competing in organized tournaments, he’s playing high-stakes games in casinos around the world.
