Long before Phil Ivey was regarded as one of the greatest poker players of all time, his mom knew he was gifted. Pamela Ivey realized this 25 years ago when her son won a $500 buy-in event at the First Annual Jack Binion World Poker Open in Mississippi for $53,297 — more than her yearly salary working in insurance.

The April 2000 event was 23-year-old Ivey’s second-ever Hendon Mob result and featured a final table that included 1983 WSOP Main Event runner-up Rod Peate and eventual 2021 WSOP Player of the Year Josh Arieh. He won his first WSOP bracelet just a month later and soon after became the poker icon he’s known as today.
