In November 2011, Luciaetta Ivey filed a petition with the Nevada Supreme Court after she discovered her husband, poker pro Phil Ivey, had contributed $5,000 to the campaign of Family Court Judge Bill Gonzalez, the judge assigned to their 2009 divorce case.

Phil Ivey answered that petition with a response filed in December, laying out details surrounding the divorce settlement. Now, according to the Las Vegas Review-Journal, Ivey’s wife is unhappy with the settlement.

Phillip Jerome Hellmuth Jr. Was born in Madison, Wisconsin on July 16, 1964, as the first and oldest child with four younger siblings: Ann, David, Kerry, and Molly Hellmuth. His father Phil Hellmuth Sr. Was a dean at the University of Wisconsin, while his mother, Lynn Hellmuth, was a sculptor. Phil is the oldest among Phil Hellmuth Sr. And Lynn Hellmuth’s five children. He grew up in Madison, Wisconsin and even became classmates and best friends with the late comedian Chris Farley. Phil learned playing cards through his family.

In a new document filed with the Nevada Supreme Court on Tuesday, Dec. 27, 2011, Luciaetta Ivey 'has attempted only to secure information to confirm that she received a fair settlement.'

Part of that information was for Phil Ivey to produce documents to the court showing his income from Tiltware, a company of the online poker siteFull Tilt Poker, had ceased.

According to those documents, he received approximately $920,000 a month 'from his passive interest in the company which was indisputably acquired during the marriage.”

Married in Las Vegas on May 19, 2002, the Iveys' divorce turned bitter after Luciaetta Ivey discovered her ex-husband’s campaign contribution, inspiring her to seek Gonzalez’s disqualification from the sealed divorce case, a request that was denied by Chief District Judge Jennifer Togliatti.

Luciaetta Ivey then took the matter to the Supreme Court, who ruled that she had raised issues of 'arguable merit” and gave her ex-husband 30 days to respond.

'At the time Phil made his campaign contribution, Judge Gonzalez did have jurisdiction over this matter even though the case was 'closed,' ' Luciaetta Ivey’s lawyer, Bruce Shapiro, wrote in the reply. 'Phil can make the claim over and over again, but the case was far from over when he made his donation.”

He went on to say: 'There can be no doubt that when a family court litigant makes a substantial contribution to a family court judge and then appears in front of that judge only months later, that it is unseemly and raises at least the appearance of impropriety.'

According to court documents, Luciaetta Ivey received about $180,000 a month as taxable alimony from her husband’s Tiltware payment, 'while Phil enjoyed the remaining approximately $740,000.” Per the agreement, those payments, which Luciaetta Ivey had received from January 2010 until April 2011, stopped when Phil Ivey ceased receiving them from Tiltware after Black Friday.

In Phil Ivey’s response, he claimed his ex-wife “received a purse collection worth more than $1.2 million, jewelry valued at more than $1 million and $180,000 a month in alimony as part of the divorce settlement, while he accepted more than $170,000 in credit card debt and more than $15.1 million 'in gambling and other debt.'

Luciaetta Ivey admits that the settlement awarded her the jewelry, 'but Phil ignores that his own jewelry is awarded to him with no assessed value.'

In addition, she believes the settlement was unfair considering she “had no idea then and has no idea now where Phil's money came from or where it went.”

Luciaetta Ivey, who now resides in Florida, has filed a federal lawsuit in Las Vegas according to the LVRJ.

The lawsuit names her ex-husband and his attorney, David Chesnoff, accusing each of “conspiring to deprive her of her equal share of the community property acquired during the marriage.”

The notorious “Poker Brat” is undeniably a player of great skill – if not great manners – with a love for the limelight. Phil Hellmuth Jr. stormed into the poker world in 1989 when he became the youngest player to win the WSOP Main Event, and almost a decade later he shows no sign of slowing down. 2007 saw him break his tie for most WSOP bracelets (which he shared for years with Doyle Brunson and Johnny Chan) when he won his 11th bracelet. All of Hellmuth’s bracelets have been won in Hold’em events.

The biggest ego in poker was born in Madison, Wisconsin, the son of an academic father who had great expectations of his oldest son. Phil Jr. had different plans, however, and dropped out of university to pursue a poker career. Hellmuth persuaded his disgruntled father to accompany him to the 1989 World Series of Poker with the promise to buy him a new Mercedes Benz if he won the Main Event – reportedly, Hellmuth Sr. has never questioned his son’s career choice again.

Hellmuth is a record setter, with the most WSOP bracelets, cashes and final tables. Although he has yet to win a WPT tournament, his 10 cashes and 3 final tables have netted him $814,869. At the time of writing his total live tournament winnings are over $10,100,000 (half of which comes from WSOP wins) and he is the 5th highest earning poker player ever.

Unfortunately Hellmuth is better known for his terrible table manners and attention-seeking pranks than for his outstanding poker abilities. A born businessman, Hellmuth has his finger in many pies including an Ultimate Bet sponsorship, several poker books (and a biography in progress,) poker training sites and software, a movie deal and several forages into fashion. A born showman, he is also considering starring in his own reality show and recently promoted a Las Vegas poker-inspired musical which reportedly features the immortal line “I can dodge bullets, baby, but I can’t dodge you.”

Married to a psychiatry professor and father of two sons, Hellmuth is not aging gracefully or fading out – on the contrary, each year finds him more rambunctious than the one before. A darling of all televised poker shows and tournaments, there is never a dull moment when loud-mouthed, diva-like Phil Hellmuth is around, but he justifies his antics – such as crashing an expensive race car or shaving his head live at the WSOP – with his devastating skill at the tables. Hellmuth, already a member of the Poker Hall of Fame, aspires to be known as the greatest poker player of all time, and regardless of his behavior he may yet get there.
