Beyond a doubt millions of individuals are trying to be the next "star" in poker, but here is a short rundown on four of the more famous "great guys" of the game. Granted "nice" is connected with their names when you are sitting accross the table from them 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 tournament earnings amounted to in excess of four and a half million dollars and he captured two highly admired awards in the World Series of Poker Player of the Year and Cardplayer Magazine’s Tourney Player of the Year. In Feb 2006 he was chosen Card Player’s Favourite Poker Player. Daniel even still has the humility to talk with his admirers about how they will be able to advance their own game.

Howard Lederer

Known as "The Professor" and brother of fellow poker professional Annie Duke. His accomplishments have lead to him making an instructional video named "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

Scotty is 1 of the busiest players in poker and from Two Thousand to 2004 he finished in the money in well over one hundred events. He’s noted for saying "yeah baby" throughout poker matches and also credited with the term "that’s poker baby" when alluding to a exceptionally bad loss. As of 2006, his career earnings are just about $6 million.

Chris Ferguson

Chris has captured 5 World Series of Poker titles with 2 of his wins happening in 2003. Chris has the nickname "Jesus" because of his characteristic long hair and beard, along with his ability to toss playing cards quick enough to cut through bananas and pickles. As of Two Thousand and Five his total live poker tournament winnings exceeded 5 million dollars.
