PHIL IVEY
He won multiple World Series of Poker (WSOP) bracelets, a World Poker Tour title under his belt and Dubbed by many as the “Tiger Woods of Poker".
Ivey grew up playing poker against his grandfather as a child. His skills increased so rapidly, that his grandad eventually resorted to cheating to come out on top.
Unfortunately, between 2012 and 2019, Phil was at the centre of a scandal, when he was accused of cheating while playing baccarat at two different casinos.
To date, he has amassed more than $26 million playing live poker. This has come off the back of winning a whopping 10 WSOP titles, and a single World Poker Tour title.
He also had an agreement with Full Tilt which ended in 2011, where he was reportedly paid $920,000 per month to represent the site as a brand ambassador at tournaments and events.
In 2014, Phil Ivey launched Ivey League, a poker training site for those who want to develop their poker skills. The site consists of three programs.
