The 2002 World Series of Poker saw the emergence of today's biggest poker celebrity. At this point I have to apologize to Doyle Brunson, Daniel Negreanu, and of course "the other Phil," but without a doubt Phil Ivey has become the game's most popular and idolized player. Phil had desired to become the best at his profession, not just a partypoker tournament player but also successful in the world's largest cash games. You cannot go a day without hearing his name in poker conversations or seeing him on TV. You can't visit a poker forum without hearing fans talk about his legendary wins and losses both in Bobby's Room and online, his partypoker tournament prowess, or even where they saw him in public. It would be a stretch to say that Phil Ivey was unknown coming into the WSOP in 2002, as he already had won his first bracelet two years earlier in Pot Limit Omaha. Still, he was definitely at a different level than he is today. In 2002 he was still playing in $300 buy-in tournaments, an amount that he now tips the Bellagio valet attendants to leave his McLaren or Rolls Royce by the door in north valet. Though his poker work ethic has been challenged in recent years by his passion for golf, he still has the ability to turn it on at any time, as shown by his recent run of WPT finishes. In the 2002 WSOP, at the age of 25, Phil was definitely on his game.
