Daniel Negreanu
In Two Thousand and Four, his tournament winnings amounted to in excess of four and a half million dollars and he attained two immensely admired awards in the WSOP Player of the Year and Cardplayer Magazine’s Competition Player of the Year. In February Two Thousand and Six he was chosen Card Player’s Favourite Poker Player. He even still has the decency to speak with his fans about how they might improve their own game.
Howard Lederer

His accomplishments have lead to him making an educational poker video called "Secrets of No Limit Hold’em" and co hosting a tournament poker show for Fox TV.

Scotty Nguyen
Scotty is 1 of the busiest players in poker and between 2000 and 2004 he finished in the money in well over 100 events.

As of 2006, his life time winnings are almost 6 million dollars.
Chris Ferguson
