Literally millions and millions of individuals are trying to be the next "big thing" in poker, but here is a short rundown on 4 of the more well known "charming players" of the game. Although "nice" is connected with their names when you are at a poker table it is "no more Mr. Nice guy" up until they have put you out of the game!
Daniel Negreanu
In Two Thousand and Four, his tournament winnings amounted to in excess of $4.4 million and he attained 2 highly admired awards in the WSOP Player of the Year and Cardplayer Magazine’s Tourney Player of the Year.
