Literally countless of people want to be the next "huge thing" in poker, but here is a short list of 4 of the more noteworthy "charming guys" of the game. Granted "nice" is connected with their names when you are sitting accross the table from them it’s "no more Mr. Nice guy" up until they have put you out of the game!

His accomplishments have allowed him to make an educational video called "Secrets of No Limit Hold’em" and also hosting a tournament poker show for Fox.

As of 2006, his life time winnings are just about 6 million dollars.
