No Joke, huge amounts of people want to be the next "huge thing" in poker, but here is a short rundown on four of the more well known "great players" 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 put you out of the game!
Daniel Negreanu
In Two Thousand and Four, his tournament earnings amounted to more than four and a half million dollars and he came away with two immensely admired awards in the World Series of Poker Player of the Year and Cardplayer Magazine’s Competition Player of the Year. In Feb Two Thousand and Six he was chosen Card Player’s Preferred Poker Player. He even still has the decency to talk with his admirers about how they might boost their own game.

As of Two Thousand and Six, his life time winnings are just about $6 million.
