Four of Poker’s Charming Pros
Literally huge amounts of individuals strive to be the next "star" in poker, but here is a short list of four of the more famous "great players" of poker. Even though "nice" is connected with their names when you are playing them it’s "no more Mr. Nice guy" until they have removed you out of the competition!
Daniel Negreanu
In Two Thousand and Four, his tourney payouts added up to more than 4.4 million dollars and he captured 2 highly respected awards in the WSOP Player of the Year and Cardplayer Magazine’s Tourney Player of the Year. In February Two Thousand and Six he was appointed Card Player’s Favourite Poker Player. Daniel still has the humility to talk with his admirers about how they will be able to improve their own game.

He is notorious for saying "yeah baby" during poker matches and also credited with the term "that’s poker baby" when alluding to a especially bad beat. As of Two Thousand and Six, his life time winnings are just about $6 million.
