Beyond a doubt huge amounts of players strive to be the next "big-time thing" in poker, but here is a short list of four of the more noteworthy "great players" of poker. Even though "nice" is associated with their names when you are at a poker table it’s "no more Mr. Nice guy" until they have removed you out of the game!

Daniel Negreanu

In Two Thousand and Four, his tourney payouts added up to more than four and a half million dollars and he captured 2 highly admired awards in the WSOP Player of the Year and Cardplayer Magazine’s Competition Player of the Year. In February Two Thousand and Six he was appointed Card Player’s Favourite Poker Player. He still has the humility to talk to his fans about how they can advance their own game.

Howard Lederer

Known as "The Professor" and sibling of fellow poker pro Annie Duke. His success has lead to him making an educational poker video named "Secrets of No Limit Hold’em" and also holding a tournament poker show for Fox. As of 2005, his total life earnings surpass $2.7 million.

Scotty Nguyen

Scotty is 1 of the most active players in poker and between Two Thousand and Two Thousand and Four he finished in the money in excess of one hundred competitions. He is notorious for saying "yeah baby" during poker games and also credited with the phrase "that’s poker baby" when alluding to a exceptionally bad defeat. As of Two Thousand and Six, his career winnings are just about six million dollars.

Chris Ferguson

Chris has earned five WSOP titles with 2 of his wins coming in Two Thousand and Three. Has the alias "Jesus" due to his trademark long hair and beard, and is able to throw cards quick enough to slice through pickles and bananas.
