No Joke, countless of people strive to be the next "mega star" in poker, but here is a short list of four of the more well known "great guys" of the game. Despite the fact that "nice" is connected with their names when you are playing them it is "no more Mr. Nice guy" until they have put you out of the competition!
Daniel Negreanu
In 2004, his competition earnings added up to more than 4.4 million dollars and he won 2 immensely admired awards in the World Series of Poker Player of the Year and Cardplayer Magazine’s Competition Player of the Year. In Feb Two Thousand and Six he was chosen Card Player’s Favourite Poker Player. Daniel still has the humility to speak with his fans about how they could boost their own game.
Howard Lederer

As of Two Thousand and Six, his career winnings are just about $6 million.
Chris Ferguson
