Edgard Mendes (Miami, FL)

It's a very fitting title for a player nicknamed "Corona," as he is usually seen seated at the table with his trademark bottle of Corona.  Mendes is a staple at tournaments here at the Isle Poker Room, and has amassed a pretty impressive resume.  Mendes has over $55,000 in career (recorded) earnings, a good portion of which came from his deep run in the championship event of the 2015 Isle Poker Classic (5th Place - $26,750).  Edgard has already recorded one cash this series, reaching the final table of Event 6 ($100 NLH Monster Stack), and finishing in 8th place ($222).  Mendes headlines our second wave of notables in the field, which includes the likes of:
