Beyond a doubt millions of people are trying to be the next "big thing" in poker, but here is a short rundown on four of the more famous "charming pros" of the game. Although "nice" is connected with their names when you are facing them it is "no more Mr. Nice guy" until they have put you out of the game!

In Feb 2006 he was appointed Card Player’s Preferred Poker Player. He even still has the decency to speak to his fans about how they can boost their own game.
