Beyond a doubt millions of people want to be the next "star" in poker, but here is a short rundown on four of the more famous "charming pros" of poker. Although "nice" is connected 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 Two Thousand and Four, his tourney winnings amounted to in the region of 4.4 million dollars and he captured two immensely admired awards in the WSOP Player of the Year and Cardplayer Magazine’s Competition Player of the Year. In Feb 2006 he was chosen Card Player’s Favourite Poker Player. He even still has the decency to speak 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 pro Annie Duke. His achievements have lead to him making an educational video called "Secrets of No Limit Hold’em" and co holding a tournament poker show for Fox. As of Two Thousand and Five, his complete life time winnings exceed $2.7 million.
Scotty Nguyen
Scotty is one of the busiest players in poker and from Two Thousand to Two Thousand and Four he placed in the money in well over one hundred tournaments. He is noted for saying "yeah baby" during poker matches and also credited with the phrase "that’s poker baby" when alluding to a particularly bad beat. As of Two Thousand and Six, his career winnings are just about six million dollars.
Chris Ferguson
Chris has earned five WSOP titles with 2 of his successes happening in Two Thousand and Three. Has the nickname "Jesus" due to his trademark long hair and beard, along with his ability to toss cards fast enough to slice through bananas and pickles. As of Two Thousand and Five his total poker tournament earnings exceeded $5 million.
