Beyond a doubt millions and millions of players strive to be the next "mega star" in poker, but here is a short rundown on four of the more noteworthy "great pros" of the game. Despite the fact that "nice" is associated with their names when you are at a poker table it’s "no more Mr. Nice guy" until they have put you out of the competition!

Daniel Negreanu

In 2004, his tourney payouts added up to in excess of four and a half million dollars and he attained 2 immensely respected awards in the World Series of Poker Player of the Year and Cardplayer Magazine’s Tournament Player of the Year.
