Literally millions of people strive to be the next "mega star" in poker, but here is a short list of 4 of the more noteworthy "great pros" of the game. Despite the fact that "nice" is associated with their names when you are playing them it’s "no more Mr. Nice guy" until they have removed you out of the game!
Daniel Negreanu
In Two Thousand and Four, his tournament earnings amounted to in the region of 4.4 million dollars and he won 2 immensely admired awards in the WSOP Player of the Year and Cardplayer Magazine’s Tournament Player of the Year. In February Two Thousand and Six he was chosen Card Player’s Preferred Poker Player. He even still has the decency to speak to his admirers about how they could boost 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 instructional poker video named "Secrets of No Limit Hold’em" and co hosting a tournament poker show for Fox TV. As of 2005, his total life earnings exceed 2.7 million dollars.
Scotty Nguyen
Scotty is one of the busiest players in poker and between 2000 and 2004 he placed in the money in more than one hundred events. He’s notorious for saying "yeah baby" throughout poker games and also coined the phrase "that’s poker baby" when alluding to a particularly bad loss. As of 2006, his life time earnings are just about six million dollars.
Chris Ferguson
Chris has earned 5 World Series of Poker titles with 2 of his successes coming in Two Thousand and Three. Has the alias "Jesus" as a result of his trademark long hair and beard, that, and along with his ability to toss playing cards quick enough to slice through bananas and pickles. As of 2005 his total live poker tourney winnings exceeded $5 million.
