Beyond a doubt huge amounts of individuals strive to be the next "big thing" in poker, but here is a short rundown on 4 of the more well known "great guys" of the game.

Daniel Negreanu
In 2004, his tourney earnings amounted to more than four and a half million dollars and he attained 2 highly admired awards in the WSOP Player of the Year and Cardplayer Magazine’s Competition Player of the Year.
