Literally millions of players are trying to be the next "big thing" in poker, but here is a short rundown on four of the more famous "great pros" of the game. Granted "nice" is associated with their names when you are facing them it is "no more Mr. Nice guy" up until they have put you out of the competition!
Daniel Negreanu
In 2004, his competition payouts amounted to more than four and a half million dollars and he captured 2 highly respected awards in the WSOP Player of the Year and Cardplayer Magazine’s Competition Player of the Year. In February Two Thousand and Six he was appointed Card Player’s Favourite Poker Player. Daniel even still has the humility to talk to his fans about how they can boost their own game.
Howard Lederer
Known as "The Professor" and sibling of fellow poker professional Annie Duke. His achievements have allowed him to make an instructional poker video named "Secrets of No Limit Hold’em" and co hosting a tournament poker show for Fox TV.

Scotty Nguyen
Scott is one of the most active players in professional poker and from Two Thousand and 2004 he placed in the money in excess of 100 competitions.

As of 2006, his life time earnings are almost six million dollars.
Chris Ferguson
