No Joke, countless of people want to be the next "star" in poker, but here is a short list of four of the more noteworthy "great players" of the game. Even though "nice" is associated with their names when you are at a poker table it is "no more Mr. Nice guy" up until they have removed you out of the game!
Daniel Negreanu
In Two Thousand and Four, his tournament earnings added up to in excess of 4.4 million dollars and he came away with 2 highly 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. Daniel still has the humility to speak with his admirers about how they could advance their own game.

Scotty Nguyen
Scott is one of the busiest players in professional poker and from 2000 and Two Thousand and Four he ranked in the money in well over 100 tournaments. He’s notorious for saying "yeah baby" during poker matches and also coined the phrase "that’s poker baby" when alluding to a especially bad loss. As of 2006, his career winnings are just about 6 million dollars.
Chris Ferguson
Chris has won 5 WSOP titles with 2 of his wins coming in 2003.
