In February Two Thousand and Six he was chosen Card Player’s Favourite Poker Player. Daniel even still has the humility to speak with his fans about how they might boost their own game.

Scotty Nguyen
Scott is one of the most active players in poker and between 2000 and Two Thousand and Four he placed in the money in well over one hundred competitions. He is notorious for saying "yeah baby" throughout poker matches and also coined the term "that’s poker baby" when alluding to a particularly bad defeat. As of Two Thousand and Six, his life time winnings are almost 6 million dollars.
Chris Ferguson
