His papa showed him to one cent-ante Five-Card Stud poker. From then on on, Phil was hooked on poker and wanted to discover everything he could about the game.

He started playing seriously after getting a false ID by the name of Jerome. He honed his game at the poker rooms in Atlantic City.

He became known at the 2000 WSOP when he achieved 2 final tables and came away with his 1st World Series of Poker bracelet, in a $2, five hundred Pot-Limit Omaha event. At the last table he defeated quite a few of the well known pros including "Amarillo Slim" Preston, David "Devilfish" Ulliot, and Phil Hellmuth, Jr.
He made a decision to take his game to the next level and moved out west to Las Vegas. Phil continues to compete in in "The Big Game" at the Bellagio with the greatest players in the world.
