Beyond a doubt millions of players are trying to be the next "mega star" in poker, but here is a short rundown on four of the more famous "great pros" of the game. Despite the fact that "nice" is connected with their names when you are sitting accross the table from them it is "no more Mr. Nice guy" until they have put you out of the game!
Daniel Negreanu
In Two Thousand and Four, his tourney winnings added up to more than four and a half million dollars and he came away with 2 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 Preferred Poker Player. He even still has the humility to speak to his admirers about how they can advance their own game.
