Literally huge amounts of people strive to be the next "star" in poker, but here is a short rundown on four of the more well known "great players" of the game. Even though "nice" is associated with their names when you are facing them it is "no more Mr. Nice guy" until they have put you out of the game!
Daniel Negreanu
In 2004, his tournament payouts added up to more than 4.4 million dollars and he won 2 highly admired awards in the WSOP Player of the Year and Cardplayer Magazine’s Tournament Player of the Year. In Feb Two Thousand and Six he was named Card Player’s Favourite Poker Player. He still has the decency to talk with his admirers about how they will be able to boost their own game.
Howard Lederer

His achievements have allowed him to make an instructional poker video called "Secrets of No Limit Hold’em" and co holding a tournament poker show for Fox TV.

As of Two Thousand and Six, his career winnings are just about 6 million dollars.
Chris Ferguson
