Four of Poker’s Great Players
No Joke, huge amounts of individuals strive to be the next "huge thing" in poker, but here is a short rundown on four of the more well known "great players" of poker. Although "nice" is connected with their names when you are playing them it is "no more Mr. Nice guy" until they have removed you out of the competition!
Daniel Negreanu
In 2004, his competition earnings amounted to more than four and a half million dollars and he won two immensely admired awards in the WSOP Player of the Year and Cardplayer Magazine’s Tourney Player of the Year. In Feb 2006 he was chosen Card Player’s Preferred Poker Player. He even still has the decency to talk to his fans about how they can improve their own game.
Howard Lederer

Scotty Nguyen
Scott is 1 of the busiest players in poker and from Two Thousand to 2004 he finished in the money in more than one hundred competitions.

As of 2006, his career winnings are almost $6 million.
Chris Ferguson
Chris has captured 5 WSOP titles with 2 of his successes coming in Two Thousand and Three.
