Literally millions of individuals want to be the next "mega star" in poker, but here is a short list of 4 of the more famous "nice players" of poker.

Daniel Negreanu
In Two Thousand and Four, his tourney earnings added up to more than four and a half million dollars and he captured 2 highly admired awards in the World Series of Poker Player of the Year and Cardplayer Magazine’s Tournament Player of the Year.

Daniel even still has the humility to speak with his admirers about how they will be able to boost their own game.
