Four of Poker’s Charming Players
Literally huge amounts of players are trying to be the next "mega star" in poker, but here is a short rundown on 4 of the more famous "great players" of the game. Despite the fact that "nice" is connected with their names when you are at a poker table it’s "no more Mr. Nice guy" until they have put you out of the game!
Daniel Negreanu
In 2004, his tourney 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 Tourney Player of the Year. In Feb 2006 he was appointed Card Player’s Favourite Poker Player. Daniel still has the humility to talk with his fans about how they can boost their own game.
Howard Lederer
Called "The Professor" and sibling of fellow poker pro 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 2005, his total life time earnings exceed 2.7 million dollars.
Scotty Nguyen
Scotty is 1 of the most active players in poker and between 2000 to Two Thousand and Four he finished in the money in excess of one hundred competitions. He’s noted for saying "yeah baby" throughout poker matches and also coined the term "that’s poker baby" when alluding to a especially bad beat. As of 2006, his career winnings are almost $6 million.
Chris Ferguson
Chris has won five World Series of Poker titles with two of his wins coming in Two Thousand and Three. Chris has the nickname "Jesus" due to his trademark long hair and beard, and is able to toss playing cards quick enough to cut through pickles and bananas. As of Two Thousand and Five his total poker tourney winnings exceeded 5 million dollars.
