Given the nickname ‘The Poker Brat’ Phil is renowned for verbal outburst during games with his competitors often receiving acerbic comments if a play does not gain approval from the self-proclaimed king of poker. This extremely confident player is an imposing force at the poker table standing at over six and a half foot tall his demeanor is equally imposing and this makes him one of the most difficult players to face on a tournament. He was once quoted as saying ‘if it wasn’t for luck, I would win every game!’

He went on to study at the University of Wisconsin, but realizing that he could make more money playing poker than through any conventional 9 to 5 job he quit to become a professional poker player, much to the dismay of his father. His father’s concerns were quickly answered with numerous titles in the many different varieties of poker. Phil has gone on to amass live tournament earnings in excess of $14,000,000 and when combined with royalties from his books on poker, this players bankroll is assured for some time to come.
