Ivey is one of the most prominent and instrumental players in the history of poker.

Apart from his success at the WPT, Ivey is also a Poker Hall of Fame inductee and has 10 World Series of Poker (WSOP) gold bracelets gracing his shelves, which is the second highest by any player, making the 45-year old, only the second player to have 10 bracelets in history of poker. He had over $40 million in live tournament earnings along with other online earnings, giving him a place in the top ten on the ‘All Time Money List.’

Adam Pliska, CEO of WPT, said, “Phil Ivey is one of the greatest ever to have played the game of poker. His career achievements and success as a frequent WPT final tablists underscore his deserving legacy as a true poker icon. As WPT celebrates its 20th-anniversary season, we have aligned the brand with talent and events that symbolize the very best in personal achievement. I cannot think of anyone who better represents that more than Phil, and I know players will appreciate the chance to interact with him at upcoming events.”
