Literally millions and millions of players strive to be the next "big thing" in poker, but here is a short rundown on four of the more noteworthy "great players" of poker. Even though "nice" is connected with their names when you are facing them it is "no more Mr. Nice guy" until they have put you out of the competition!

Daniel Negreanu

In 2004, his tournament payouts added up to more than 4.4 million dollars and he captured two highly admired awards in the World Series of Poker Player of the Year and Cardplayer Magazine's Tourney Player of the Year. In February 2006 he was appointed Card Player's Favourite Poker Player. He still has the decency to talk to his admirers about how they will be able to improve their own game.

Howard Lederer

Known as "The Professor" and sibling of fellow poker professional Annie Duke. His achievements have lead to him making an instructional poker video called "Secrets of No Limit Hold'em" and co holding a tournament poker show for Fox TV. As of Two Thousand and Five, his complete life time winnings exceed $2.7 million.

Scotty Nguyen

Scott is one of the most active players in professional poker and between 2000 and Two Thousand and Four he placed in the money in more than one hundred events. He is noted for saying "yeah baby" during poker matches and also coined the term "that's poker baby" when alluding to a particularly bad beat. As of 2006, his career winnings are almost 6 million dollars.

Chris Ferguson

Chris has earned 5 WSOP titles with 2 of his successes happening in 2003. Chris has the nickname "Jesus" as a result of his trademark long hair and beard, that, and along with his ability to throw playing cards quick enough to slice through bananas and pickles. As of 2005 his total live poker tournament winnings exceeded 5 million dollars.
