Beyond a doubt millions of players want to be the next "star" in poker, but here is a short list of 4 of the more noteworthy "great players" of poker. 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 payouts added up to more than 4.4 million dollars and he came away with two immensely admired awards in the WSOP Player of the Year and Cardplayer Magazine’s Tournament Player of the Year. In Feb 2006 he was chosen Card Player’s Favourite Poker Player. He even still has the humility to talk with his fans about how they can boost their own game.

Howard Lederer

Called "The Professor" and sibling of fellow poker pro Annie Duke. His success has lead to him making an instructional poker video called "Secrets of No Limit Hold’em" and co hosting a tournament poker show for Fox. As of 2005, his complete life time winnings surpass 2.7 million dollars.

Scotty Nguyen

Scotty is one of the busiest players in professional poker and from Two Thousand to Two Thousand and Four he placed in the money in more than 100 competitions. He’s notorious for saying "yeah baby" during poker games and also coined the term "that’s poker baby" when referring to a exceptionally bad defeat. As of 2006, his life time winnings are almost six million dollars.

Chris Ferguson

Chris has earned 5 WSOP titles with two of his wins happening in Two Thousand and Three. Has the alias "Jesus" because of his trademark long hair and beard, and is able to throw cards fast enough to cut through bananas and pickles.
