Literally huge amounts of people strive to be the next "big-time thing" in poker, but here is a short list of 4 of the more famous "charming players" of the game. Despite the fact that "nice" is connected with their names when you are at a poker table it is "no more Mr. Nice guy" up until they have removed you out of the competition!
Daniel Negreanu
In Two Thousand and Four, his tournament earnings added up to more than $4.4 million and he came away with two immensely admired awards in the WSOP Player of the Year and Cardplayer Magazine’s Tournament Player of the Year. In Feb Two Thousand and Six he was appointed Card Player’s Preferred Poker Player. He still has the humility to speak to his fans about how they can boost their own game.
Howard Lederer
Known as "The Professor" and brother of fellow poker professional Annie Duke. His achievements have lead to him making an educational video named "Secrets of No Limit Hold’em" and co hosting a tournament poker show for Fox. As of Two Thousand and Five, his total life winnings surpass 2.7 million dollars.
Scotty Nguyen
Scott is one of the most active players in poker and from Two Thousand and Two Thousand and Four he ranked in the money in more than one hundred competitions.

As of Two Thousand and Six, his career winnings are just about six million dollars.
Chris Ferguson
Chris has captured 5 WSOP titles with 2 of his successes coming in Two Thousand and Three.
