Literally huge amounts of people want to be the next "star" in poker, but here is a short rundown on 4 of the more noteworthy "great guys" of the game. Granted "nice" is connected with their names when you are facing them it’s "no more Mr. Nice guy" until they have removed you out of the game!
Daniel Negreanu
In Two Thousand and Four, his competition winnings added up to more than 4.4 million dollars and he won two highly admired awards in the WSOP Player of the Year and Cardplayer Magazine’s Tournament Player of the Year. In Feb Two Thousand and Six he was appointed Card Player’s Preferred Poker Player. He even still has the humility to talk to his fans about how they could improve their own game.
Howard Lederer

Scotty Nguyen

As of 2006, his career winnings are just about 6 million dollars.
Chris Ferguson
Chris has captured five WSOP titles with 2 of his wins happening in Two Thousand and Three.
