No Joke, millions of players want to be the next "star" in poker, but here is a short rundown on four of the more famous "great guys" of poker. Although "nice" is associated with their names when you are facing them it’s "no more Mr. Nice guy" up until they have removed you out of the competition!
Daniel Negreanu
In 2004, his competition payouts amounted to in the region of four and a half million dollars and he came away with two highly admired awards in the WSOP Player of the Year and Cardplayer Magazine’s Competition Player of the Year. In February 2006 he was named Card Player’s Preferred Poker Player. Daniel still has the humility to speak to his fans about how they will be able to advance their own game.
Howard Lederer

He is notorious for saying "yeah baby" throughout poker games and also coined the phrase "that’s poker baby" when referring to a particularly bad beat. As of 2006, his career earnings are just about six million dollars.
Chris Ferguson
Chris has captured 5 WSOP titles with 2 of his successes happening in 2003.
