Literally huge amounts of players strive to be the next "star" in poker, but here is a short rundown on four of the more famous "great players" of the game. Even though "nice" is associated with their names when you are at a poker table it’s "no more Mr. Nice guy" up until they have put you out of the competition!
Daniel Negreanu
In 2004, his tourney earnings added up to more than 4.4 million dollars and he won 2 highly respected 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 named Card Player’s Preferred Poker Player. Daniel even still has the decency to speak with his fans about how they can improve their own game.
Howard Lederer
Referred to as "The Professor" and brother of fellow poker pro Annie Duke. His achievements have allowed him to make an educational poker video called "Secrets of No Limit Hold’em" and co holding a tournament poker show for Fox. As of 2005, his total life winnings exceed $2.7 million.
Scotty Nguyen
Scott is one of the busiest players in poker and from Two Thousand and Two Thousand and Four he finished in the money in well over 100 competitions. He’s notorious for saying "yeah baby" during poker games and also coined the term "that’s poker baby" when alluding to a particularly bad loss. As of 2006, his life time earnings are just about six million dollars.
Chris Ferguson
Chris has captured five WSOP titles with 2 of his wins coming in Two Thousand and Three. Has the nickname "Jesus" because of his characteristic long hair and beard, along with his ability to throw playing cards quick enough to slice through pickles and bananas.
