Beyond a doubt countless of people strive to be the next "mega star" in poker, but here is a short list of four of the more well known "charming pros" of the game. Even though "nice" is connected with their names when you are facing them it’s "no more Mr. Nice guy" until they have removed you out of the competition!
Daniel Negreanu
In Two Thousand and Four, his competition earnings amounted to in excess of $4.4 million and he won two highly admired 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 appointed Card Player’s Preferred Poker Player. He still has the decency to talk with his admirers about how they might advance their own game.
Howard Lederer
Referred to as "The Professor" and sibling of fellow poker professional Annie Duke. His success has lead to him making an educational poker video named "Secrets of No Limit Hold’em" and co holding a tournament poker show for Fox. As of 2005, his complete life time winnings exceed $2.7 million.
Scotty Nguyen
Scotty is 1 of the busiest players in professional poker and between 2000 to Two Thousand and Four he finished in the money in excess of one hundred events. He’s noted for saying "yeah baby" throughout poker matches and also coined the phrase "that’s poker baby" when alluding to a particularly bad defeat. As of Two Thousand and Six, his career earnings are just about $6 million.
Chris Ferguson
Chris has won 5 WSOP titles with 2 of his wins coming in 2003. Has the nickname "Jesus" due to his characteristic long hair and beard, that, and along with his ability to throw cards quick enough to cut through bananas and pickles. As of Two Thousand and Five his total poker tournament earnings exceeded five million dollars.
