Phil Ivey Pot Limit Omaha with Re-buys Winner 2005 Earnings: $630,685 Many former co-workers of Phil Ivey claim the poker superstar developed his poker skills while working at a New Jersey telemarketing company.  Regardless of how he came to be, Phil Ivey regularly proves to the poker world he is worthy of his nickname: The Tiger Woods of Poker. Phil Ivey and the World Series of Poker have become synonymous over the last couple of years – ever since Phil Ivey broke into the poker scene with his three poker title wins at the 2002 WSOP, he’s become tied for the most wins of any poker player.  The elusive WSOP Main Event bracelet is something that Phil Ivey still needs for his trophy case. He has just missed the prize for the last three years, but he has finished in the top 25 each these years, which is impressive by any standard.
