Literally millions of people want to be the next "big-time thing" in poker, but here is a short list of 4 of the more famous "great players" of the game. Granted "nice" is connected with their names when you are at a poker table it’s "no more Mr. Nice guy" up until they have removed you out of the competition!
Daniel Negreanu
In Two Thousand and Four, his tourney earnings amounted to in excess of $4.4 million and he captured two immensely admired awards in the World Series of Poker Player of the Year and Cardplayer Magazine’s Tournament Player of the Year. In Feb Two Thousand and Six he was appointed Card Player’s Favourite Poker Player. Daniel even still has the decency to talk to his fans about how they might boost their own game.
Howard Lederer
Referred to as "The Professor" and brother of fellow poker professional Annie Duke. His accomplishments have allowed him to make an educational video called "Secrets of No Limit Hold’em" and co hosting a tournament poker show for Fox TV. As of Two Thousand and Five, his complete life time winnings exceed 2.7 million dollars.
Scotty Nguyen
Scott is one of the busiest players in poker and from Two Thousand and 2004 he ranked in the money in more than one hundred tournaments. He’s notorious for saying "yeah baby" during poker games and also credited with the phrase "that’s poker baby" when referring to a particularly bad defeat. As of Two Thousand and Six, his career earnings are almost $6 million.
Chris Ferguson
Chris has captured five WSOP titles with two of his successes happening in 2003. Chris has the nickname "Jesus" as a result of his characteristic long hair and beard, that, and along with his ability to toss cards fast enough to cut through pickles and bananas. As of 2005 his total live poker tourney winnings exceeded five million dollars.
