Beyond a doubt countless of players are trying to be the next "big thing" in poker, but here is a short rundown on 4 of the more noteworthy "charming players" of the game. Although "nice" is connected 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 game!
Daniel Negreanu
In Two Thousand and Four, his tourney earnings added up to more than $4.4 million and he captured two immensely admired awards in the WSOP Player of the Year and Cardplayer Magazine’s Tourney 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 talk with his admirers about how they could boost their own game.
Howard Lederer
Referred to as "The Professor" and brother of fellow poker pro Annie Duke. His achievements have lead to him making an instructional video named "Secrets of No Limit Hold’em" and co hosting a tournament poker show for Fox TV. As of Two Thousand and Five, his total life time earnings exceed $2.7 million.
Scotty Nguyen
Scotty is one of the most active players in poker and from 2000 and Two Thousand and Four he finished in the money in well over one hundred competitions. He’s noted for saying "yeah baby" throughout poker games and also coined the phrase "that’s poker baby" when alluding to a especially bad defeat. As of 2006, his life time winnings are just about 6 million dollars.
Chris Ferguson
Chris has captured five World Series of Poker titles with 2 of his wins coming in Two Thousand and Three. Has the nickname "Jesus" because of his characteristic long hair and beard, along with his ability to throw cards fast enough to slice through bananas and pickles.
