Four of Poker’s Charming Players
Beyond a doubt huge amounts of players strive to be the next "star" in poker, but here is a short rundown on four of the more noteworthy "great players" of poker. Granted "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 competition payouts amounted to in excess of 4.4 million dollars and he attained 2 highly admired awards in the WSOP Player of the Year and Cardplayer Magazine’s Competition Player of the Year. In February 2006 he was appointed Card Player’s Favourite Poker Player. He still has the humility to talk to his fans about how they could boost 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 poker video named "Secrets of No Limit Hold’em" and co hosting a tournament poker show for Fox TV. As of Two Thousand and Five, his complete life time earnings exceed 2.7 million dollars.
Scotty Nguyen
Scotty is one of the busiest players in professional poker and from 2000 to Two Thousand and Four he ranked in the money in well over one hundred competitions. He’s noted for saying "yeah baby" throughout poker matches and also coined the phrase "that’s poker baby" when referring to a exceptionally bad loss. As of 2006, his life time earnings are almost six million dollars.
Chris Ferguson
Chris has earned five World Series of Poker titles with 2 of his wins happening in 2003. Has the nickname "Jesus" because of his trademark long hair and beard, and is able to throw playing cards fast enough to slice through bananas and pickles. As of Two Thousand and Five his total live poker tourney winnings exceeded $5 million.
