No Joke, millions of players strive to be the next "mega star" in poker, but here is a short list of four of the more famous "great pros" of poker. Although "nice" is connected with their names when you are sitting accross the table from them it’s "no more Mr. Nice guy" up until they have removed you out of the game!
Daniel Negreanu
In 2004, his tourney earnings added up to in excess of 4.4 million dollars and he attained 2 highly admired awards in the World Series of Poker Player of the Year and Cardplayer Magazine’s Tourney Player of the Year. In February 2006 he was appointed Card Player’s Favourite Poker Player. He still has the decency to speak with his admirers about how they might improve their own game.
Howard Lederer

As of 2006, his life time winnings are almost six million dollars.
Chris Ferguson
