Literally countless of players strive to be the next "mega star" in poker, but here is a short rundown on 4 of the more well known "great pros" of the game.

Daniel Negreanu
In Two Thousand and Four, his competition earnings amounted to in excess of $4.4 million and he attained two highly admired awards in the World Series of Poker Player of the Year and Cardplayer Magazine’s Competition Player of the Year. In February Two Thousand and Six he was appointed Card Player’s Favourite Poker Player. Daniel even still has the decency to talk with his admirers about how they could advance their own game.

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