Literally millions of people want to be the next "huge thing" in poker, but here is a short rundown on four of the more well known "great players" of the game. Even though "nice" is connected with their names when you are facing them it is "no more Mr. Nice guy" up until they have put you out of the game!
Daniel Negreanu
In Two Thousand and Four, his tournament earnings amounted to more than $4.4 million and he captured two 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 chosen Card Player’s Preferred Poker Player. He even still has the humility to speak with his admirers about how they can improve their own game.
Howard Lederer
Called "The Professor" and brother of fellow poker pro Annie Duke. His accomplishments have lead to him making an educational poker video called "Secrets of No Limit Hold’em" and co holding a tournament poker show for Fox TV. As of 2005, his complete life time earnings surpass $2.7 million.
Scotty Nguyen
Scott is one of the busiest players in poker and between Two Thousand and 2004 he placed in the money in well over 100 tournaments. He’s noted for saying "yeah baby" during poker games and also credited with the phrase "that’s poker baby" when alluding to a especially bad loss. As of Two Thousand and Six, his life time earnings are almost six million dollars.
Chris Ferguson
Chris has earned five WSOP titles with 2 of his successes happening in Two Thousand and Three. Chris has the alias "Jesus" due to his characteristic long hair and beard, and is able to throw cards fast enough to slice through bananas and pickles.
