Four of Poker’s Great Pros
Beyond a doubt millions of people want to be the next "big-time thing" in poker, but here is a short rundown on four of the more famous "charming pros" of the game. Even though "nice" is connected with their names when you are playing 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 earnings amounted to in excess of four and a half million dollars and he captured 2 immensely respected awards in the World Series of Poker Player of the Year and Cardplayer Magazine’s Tourney Player of the Year. In February 2006 he was appointed Card Player’s Preferred Poker Player. He still has the humility to speak with his fans about how they might advance their own game.
Howard Lederer
Known as "The Professor" and sibling of fellow poker professional Annie Duke. His success has lead to him making an educational video called "Secrets of No Limit Hold’em" and also hosting a tournament poker show for Fox. As of 2005, his complete life winnings exceed 2.7 million dollars.
Scotty Nguyen
Scotty is one of the busiest players in poker and between 2000 and Two Thousand and Four he placed in the money in well over 100 tournaments. He is notorious for saying "yeah baby" during poker games and also coined the phrase "that’s poker baby" when alluding to a particularly bad defeat. As of Two Thousand and Six, his career earnings are just about 6 million dollars.
Chris Ferguson
Chris has captured five World Series of Poker titles with 2 of his wins coming in Two Thousand and Three. Has the nickname "Jesus" as a result of his trademark long hair and beard, that, and along with his ability to throw cards fast enough to slice through bananas and pickles. As of 2005 his total poker tournament earnings exceeded five million dollars.
