I cannot provide a link and I don't feel like using the search function. I can, however, answer your question, by and large.

Here's Sklansky's list of the Ten Smartest Poker Players:

1. William Chen
2. Mark Weitzman
3. Howard Lederer
4. Jim Geary
5. Chris Ferguson
6. Ed Miller
7. Tom Weideman
8. Jimmy Warren
9. Barry Greenstein
10. Paul Phillips

Some of his comments:
"...it isn't easy to displace them in my mind. Among the names that would have a chance are Adam Bloch, El Diablo, Bill Bertram, Abdul Jalib, Gus Hansen, Dan Hansen, Patri Friedman, David Kopp, Huck Seed, Dan Harrington, Louie Landale, Jimmy Jimmy and two longshot possibilities of James Woods and Ben Affleck. I'm sure I have forgotten some obvious ones. Also I'm not considering those who don't really play much such as Brian Alspach, Paul Pudaite, and Jerrod A."

Other posters in the thread mostly agreed with these picks and added a few others:
Sasha Schwartz
Marilyn von Savant
Andy Beal
Allen Cunningham
Negreneau, Chip Reese, Raymer, and Ivey

I hope that satisfies your inquiry.
