No Joke, millions and millions of individuals are trying to be the next "mega star" in poker, but here is a short list of four of the more famous "great pros" of poker. Despite the fact that "nice" is associated with their names when you are at a poker table it is "no more Mr. Nice guy" up until they have put you out of the game!

Daniel Negreanu

In 2004, his tourney earnings added up to in excess of four and a half million dollars and he won two highly respected awards in the WSOP Player of the Year and Cardplayer Magazine’s Tournament Player of the Year. In Feb 2006 he was named Card Player’s Favourite Poker Player. Daniel even still has the decency to speak to his fans about how they could boost their own game.

Howard Lederer

Called "The Professor" and brother of fellow poker pro Annie Duke. His accomplishments have lead to him making an instructional poker video called "Secrets of No Limit Hold’em" and co holding a tournament poker show for Fox. As of Two Thousand and Five, his total life winnings exceed $2.7 million.

Scotty Nguyen

Scott is one of the busiest players in poker and between Two Thousand to 2004 he finished in the money in well over one hundred events. He is noted for saying "yeah baby" during poker games and also credited with the phrase "that’s poker baby" when alluding to a particularly bad defeat. As of 2006, his career winnings are just about $6 million.

Chris Ferguson

Chris has earned 5 World Series of Poker titles with 2 of his wins happening in 2003. Has the nickname "Jesus" because of his characteristic long hair and beard, that, and along with his ability to throw playing cards fast enough to slice through bananas and pickles. As of Two Thousand and Five his total live poker tournament winnings exceeded 5 million dollars.
