Four of Poker’s Charming Players
Beyond a doubt millions and millions of players strive to be the next "mega star" in poker, but here is a short list of four of the more well known "great players" of poker. Even though "nice" is connected with their names when you are at a poker table it’s "no more Mr. Nice guy" until they have put you out of the game!
Daniel Negreanu
In Two Thousand and Four, his tournament earnings amounted to in excess of 4.4 million dollars and he won two highly respected 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 chosen Card Player’s Favourite Poker Player. Daniel still has the decency to talk with his fans about how they will be able to advance their own game.
Howard Lederer
Called "The Professor" and brother of fellow poker pro Annie Duke. His accomplishments have lead to him making an educational video called "Secrets of No Limit Hold’em" and co holding a tournament poker show for Fox TV. As of 2005, his complete life winnings surpass 2.7 million dollars.
Scotty Nguyen
Scott is 1 of the most active players in poker and from 2000 and 2004 he placed in the money in well over one hundred events. He’s notorious for saying "yeah baby" throughout poker games and also credited with the term "that’s poker baby" when referring to a especially bad loss. As of 2006, his life time earnings are almost $6 million.
Chris Ferguson
Chris has captured five WSOP titles with two of his wins happening in 2003. Chris has the nickname "Jesus" as a result of his characteristic long hair and beard, and is able to throw playing cards quick enough to cut through pickles and bananas.
