Literally millions of people strive to be the next "mega star" in poker, but here is a short rundown on 4 of the more well known "charming pros" of the game. Granted "nice" is connected with their names when you are sitting accross the table from them it is "no more Mr. Nice guy" up until they have removed you out of the competition!

In 2004, his competition payouts amounted to in excess of $4.4 million 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 February 2006 he was named Card Player’s Preferred Poker Player. Daniel still has the decency to talk to his admirers about how they can boost their own game.

Chris Ferguson
