Literally huge amounts of players strive to be the next "mega star" in poker, but here is a short rundown on 4 of the more well known "great pros" of the game. Although "nice" is connected 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 2004, his competition payouts amounted to in the region of four and a half million dollars and he captured 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 appointed Card Player’s Favourite Poker Player. Daniel even still has the humility to talk with his admirers about how they could boost their own game.
Howard Lederer
Referred to as "The Professor" and sibling of fellow poker pro Annie Duke. His success has allowed him to make an educational video named "Secrets of No Limit Hold’em" and also holding a tournament poker show for Fox. As of Two Thousand and Five, his complete life time winnings exceed $2.7 million.

He’s noted for saying "yeah baby" during poker matches and also credited with the phrase "that’s poker baby" when referring to a exceptionally bad beat. As of 2006, his life time winnings are almost 6 million dollars.
Chris Ferguson
