Beyond a doubt millions and millions of players are trying to be the next "big thing" in poker, but here is a short rundown on four of the more noteworthy "charming players" of the game. Although "nice" is connected with their names when you are facing them it is "no more Mr. Nice guy" until they have put you out of the game!
Daniel Negreanu
In 2004, his tournament winnings amounted to in excess of four and a half million dollars and he attained 2 highly respected awards in the World Series of Poker Player of the Year and Cardplayer Magazine’s Tournament Player of the Year. In February 2006 he was chosen Card Player’s Favourite Poker Player. He still has the humility to talk to his fans about how they will be able to boost their own game.
Howard Lederer
Referred to as "The Professor" and brother of fellow poker professional Annie Duke. His achievements have lead to him making an educational video named "Secrets of No Limit Hold’em" and co holding a tournament poker show for Fox. As of Two Thousand and Five, his total life time winnings exceed $2.7 million.
Scotty Nguyen
Scott is 1 of the most active players in professional poker and from Two Thousand and 2004 he finished in the money in well over one hundred events. He is notorious for saying "yeah baby" throughout poker games and also credited with the term "that’s poker baby" when alluding to a particularly bad beat. As of Two Thousand and Six, his career winnings are just about $6 million.
Chris Ferguson
Chris has earned five WSOP titles with two of his successes coming in Two Thousand and Three. Chris has the nickname "Jesus" due to his characteristic long hair and beard, that, and along with his ability to toss cards quick enough to slice through bananas and pickles. As of 2005 his total poker tourney winnings exceeded $5 million.
