Literally millions and millions of individuals are trying to be the next "huge thing" in poker, but here is a short list of 4 of the more noteworthy "great players" of poker. Granted "nice" is associated with their names when you are at a poker table it’s "no more Mr. Nice guy" until they have removed you out of the game!
Daniel Negreanu
In 2004, his tourney payouts added up to more than four and a half million dollars and he came away with 2 immensely respected awards in the WSOP Player of the Year and Cardplayer Magazine’s Competition Player of the Year. In Feb Two Thousand and Six he was named Card Player’s Favourite Poker Player. He even still has the humility to speak to his fans about how they will be able to boost their own game.
Howard Lederer
Referred to as "The Professor" and sibling of fellow poker pro Annie Duke. His achievements have lead to him making an instructional video called "Secrets of No Limit Hold’em" and also holding a tournament poker show for Fox. As of 2005, his total life time earnings surpass 2.7 million dollars.
Scotty Nguyen
Scott is one of the most active players in poker and between 2000 to 2004 he finished in the money in excess of 100 events. He is noted for saying "yeah baby" during poker matches and also coined the phrase "that’s poker baby" when alluding to a especially bad loss. As of 2006, his life time winnings are just about $6 million.
Chris Ferguson
Chris has captured five World Series of Poker titles with 2 of his wins happening in 2003. Chris has the alias "Jesus" as a result of his trademark long hair and beard, and is able to throw cards quick enough to slice through pickles and bananas. As of Two Thousand and Five his total poker tourney winnings exceeded $5 million.
