No Joke, millions of individuals are trying to be the next "mega star" in poker, but here is a short rundown on 4 of the more noteworthy "charming guys" of poker. Despite the fact that "nice" is associated with their names when you are facing them it’s "no more Mr. Nice guy" up until they have put you out of the game!
Daniel Negreanu
In Two Thousand and Four, his tourney winnings amounted to in excess of four and a half million dollars 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 2006 he was named Card Player’s Favourite Poker Player. He still has the humility to talk to his admirers about how they will be able to boost their own game.

Scotty Nguyen

As of Two Thousand and Six, his life time earnings are just about $6 million.
Chris Ferguson
