A Couple of of Poker’s Great Players
No Joke, millions of individuals want to be the next "star" in poker, but here is a short rundown on four of the more noteworthy "great guys" of poker. Although "nice" is connected with their names when you are at a poker table it’s "no more Mr. Nice guy" up until they have removed you out of the competition!
Daniel Negreanu
In Two Thousand and Four, his competition earnings amounted to in excess of 4.4 million dollars and he came away with two highly admired awards in the WSOP Player of the Year and Cardplayer Magazine’s Tourney Player of the Year. In February 2006 he was chosen Card Player’s Favourite Poker Player. Daniel still has the humility to talk with his admirers about how they can boost their own game.
Howard Lederer
Known as "The Professor" and brother of fellow poker pro Annie Duke. His achievements have lead to him making an instructional video named "Secrets of No Limit Hold’em" and also hosting a tournament poker show for Fox. As of Two Thousand and Five, his complete life time earnings exceed 2.7 million dollars.
Scotty Nguyen
Scotty is one of the most active players in professional poker and between Two Thousand and 2004 he ranked in the money in well over 100 competitions. He is notorious for saying "yeah baby" throughout poker games and also coined the phrase "that’s poker baby" when referring to a especially bad loss. As of 2006, his career winnings are almost $6 million.
Chris Ferguson
Chris has earned five WSOP titles with 2 of his wins coming in 2003. Has the nickname "Jesus" as a result of his trademark long hair and beard, that, and along with his ability to toss cards fast enough to cut through bananas and pickles.
