A Couple of of Poker’s Great Players
Beyond a doubt millions of people are trying to be the next "mega star" in poker, but here is a short list of 4 of the more well known "charming players" of poker. Even though "nice" is connected with their names when you are at a poker table it is "no more Mr. Nice guy" up until they have put you out of the game!
Daniel Negreanu
In 2004, his tournament winnings added up to more than $4.4 million and he captured two immensely respected awards in the WSOP Player of the Year and Cardplayer Magazine’s Tourney Player of the Year. In February 2006 he was named Card Player’s Favourite Poker Player. He even still has the decency to speak with his fans about how they could improve their own game.
Howard Lederer
Called "The Professor" and brother of fellow poker pro Annie Duke. His accomplishments have allowed him to make an educational video called "Secrets of No Limit Hold’em" and also holding a tournament poker show for Fox. As of Two Thousand and Five, his complete life earnings exceed 2.7 million dollars.
Scotty Nguyen
Scott is one of the busiest players in poker and from Two Thousand and Two Thousand and Four he placed in the money in more than one hundred events. He’s noted for saying "yeah baby" during poker matches and also coined the phrase "that’s poker baby" when alluding to a especially bad loss. As of Two Thousand and Six, his career earnings are just about six million dollars.
Chris Ferguson
Chris has won 5 WSOP titles with two of his successes happening in Two Thousand and Three. Chris has the nickname "Jesus" as a result of his characteristic long hair and beard, that, and along with his ability to throw playing cards fast enough to slice through pickles and bananas.
