Literally huge amounts of people are trying to be the next "mega star" in poker, but here is a short rundown on 4 of the more famous "great pros" of poker. Even though "nice" is associated with their names when you are at a poker table it’s "no more Mr. Nice guy" up until they have put you out of the competition!
Daniel Negreanu
In 2004, his tournament winnings added up to more than four and a half million dollars and he came away with 2 immensely admired awards in the WSOP Player of the Year and Cardplayer Magazine’s Tourney Player of the Year. In Feb Two Thousand and Six he was chosen Card Player’s Preferred Poker Player. He still has the humility to talk with his fans about how they might advance their own game.
Howard Lederer

His success has allowed him to make an educational poker video called "Secrets of No Limit Hold’em" and also hosting a tournament poker show for Fox.

As of Two Thousand and Six, his career earnings are just about 6 million dollars.
Chris Ferguson
Chris has earned five World Series of Poker titles with two of his wins happening in 2003.
