Edgard Mendes (Miami, FL)

There aren't many players that enter as many events at the Isle Casino Poker Room then our next notables, Edgard Mendes (Miami, FL).  Playfully known as "Corona," Mendes can most always be seen in the field with his trusty bottle of said beer brand, as well as a smile.  While he comes off as jovial and friendly at the table, his poker play is all business.  Mendes has over $50,000 in recorded career earnings, with an unknown amount of "daily" cashes that were never sent to Hendon Mob (prior to the blog's inception).  Edgard has a bunch of three and four digit scores over the past three years, but he's still chasing that highlighting cash of $26,750, won during a $1,200 No Limit Hold'em event during the 2015 Isle Poker Open.  

Mendes seems to like the Isle Poker Open, as he had a pretty nice series this year as well:

Event #2 ($100 No Limit Hold'em) 2nd Place ($1,712)
Event #13 ($1,500 NLH Championship Event) 35th Place ($3,146)
