Who Are the Most Influential People in Poker?

Who are the most influential people in the world of poker? This is a question that is posed from time to time by different media organizations and I think it's time that I tackle this burning question.
Ok, maybe it isn't so much a burning question as an interesting exercise in opinion. But over the next few months, I will be bringing you a series of blogs covering who I believe are the 20 most influential people in the world of poker.
Now when I say the word influential, I am not necessarily referring to being influential in a positive way. Both positive and negative forces impact life, and this is the case with poker. As such, you may find some names on here that you may not expect, and some that you will.
Who do you think are some of the most influential people in the poker world?
Feel free to leave a comment on the blog including your pics and your reasons why. If I like them, I will include them in upcoming blogs.
