No Joke, millions of people strive to be the next "mega star" in poker, but here is a short list of 4 of the more famous "great pros" of the game.

Daniel Negreanu
In 2004, his competition winnings amounted to in excess of $4.4 million and he captured two immensely respected awards in the WSOP Player of the Year and Cardplayer Magazine’s Tournament Player of the Year. In Feb Two Thousand and Six he was appointed Card Player’s Favourite Poker Player. He even still has the humility to speak with his admirers about how they might advance their own game.

As of Two Thousand and Six, his career winnings are just about $6 million.
Chris Ferguson
