Who would you say is the face of poker? People who are only casual players could tell you who they are.
Is it a slam dunk Negreanu? He is the leading man of Pokerstars and they are the worlds largest poker site.

Negreanu, Ivey, Hellmuth, Antonio and Laak (close seconds to Dneg) Ferguson and nowadays Durrr. for sure Negreanu, but for me personally he almost become "white noise". He is always there somewhere, but I'm more interested in players like Mizzi, Buchanan, Mueller...course 2 years ago, barely knew of them after already being in the game for 3. Wrong game I guess.

Negreanu's goofball act wears thin quickly. I don't think he's fooling anyonde with it any more.
For many women the face of poker is Vanessa Rousso, or perhaps Annie Duke.
EDIT: For me, the face of poker always has been and always will be Doyle. David Sklansky would rival him if he showed his face at the tables enough.

He long gone and all but say he lived "Stu Unger" would make the scene quite exciting, Ive done some reading up on things about him playing with Phil Hellmuth...not saying anyone hard to read or whatever, Stu had something big on Phil that just make him look bad..... Poker News, Online Poker Reviews & Bonus Offers - CardPlayer.com do a search theres a few good ones

Stu Ungar showed up on another forum a few months ago. He's had personal issues but is trying to get back into poker now.

I think you would have to define for which face.
For entertainment I would pick the Mikes,s, Neg, Laak, and probably early Hanson.
For skill, not that any of the above are not extremely skilled players but I would pick Brunson, Ferguson, and Elezra
