Four of Poker’s Charming Players
Beyond a doubt millions and millions of players are trying to be the next "star" in poker, but here is a short rundown on four of the more noteworthy "great pros" of poker. Despite the fact that "nice" is connected with their names when you are playing them it is "no more Mr. Nice guy" until they have put you out of the competition!
Daniel Negreanu
In 2004, his competition winnings added up to more than $4.4 million and he captured two highly respected awards in the WSOP Player of the Year and Cardplayer Magazine’s Tournament Player of the Year. In February 2006 he was appointed Card Player’s Preferred Poker Player. He still has the decency to talk with his fans about how they will be able to improve their own game.
Howard Lederer
Referred to as "The Professor" and sibling of fellow poker pro Annie Duke. His success has allowed him to make an educational video called "Secrets of No Limit Hold’em" and co hosting a tournament poker show for Fox TV. As of 2005, his complete life time earnings exceed 2.7 million dollars.
Scotty Nguyen
Scott is 1 of the most active players in poker and from Two Thousand and 2004 he ranked in the money in well over one hundred events. He’s notorious for saying "yeah baby" during poker games and also credited with the phrase "that’s poker baby" when alluding to a exceptionally bad loss. As of 2006, his career earnings are just about $6 million.
Chris Ferguson
Chris has won 5 WSOP titles with two of his successes coming in Two Thousand and Three. Has the alias "Jesus" because of his trademark long hair and beard, along with his ability to toss cards fast enough to cut through bananas and pickles. As of 2005 his total live poker tourney winnings exceeded 5 million dollars.
