A Couple of of Poker’s Great Pros
Beyond a doubt millions of players are trying to be the next "mega star" in poker, but here is a short rundown on 4 of the more famous "charming pros" of the game. Even though "nice" is associated with their names when you are playing them it is "no more Mr. Nice guy" until they have removed you out of the game!
Daniel Negreanu
In 2004, his tournament earnings added up to more than four and a half million dollars and he captured two immensely admired awards in the World Series of Poker Player of the Year and Cardplayer Magazine’s Competition Player of the Year. In Feb 2006 he was named Card Player’s Preferred Poker Player. Daniel still has the humility to speak to his fans about how they could advance their own game.
Howard Lederer
Referred to as "The Professor" and brother of fellow poker professional Annie Duke. His achievements have allowed him to make an instructional video called "Secrets of No Limit Hold’em" and also hosting a tournament poker show for Fox TV.

As of 2006, his life time winnings are just about $6 million.
Chris Ferguson
Chris has captured five WSOP titles with 2 of his successes happening in Two Thousand and Three.
