Isle Classic Event #18 (Flight 1C): Meet Nicholas Marts...Killin' It With The Beard Game

2017 Isle Classic | Event #18
$175 No Limit Hold'em ($100,000 GTD)
Level 5 (Blinds 150/300/50)
Total Flight 1C Entries: 105

While his tournament poker resume may be lacking results, Nick Marts' (Minnesota) beard game is strong than anyone in the field (by far).

Most of the players that frequent the tournament in South Florida are from the area, so it's easy to forget that this is a vacation destination for most people.  Nick Marts has a Hendon Mob resume that states he's from North Dakota, but the current Minnesota resident just got back from a cruise, which had its port here in Florida (as so many of the cruise lines do).  Having heard about this $100,000 guarantee event, he decided to jump in the action, and stands out amongst others in the field.  "Why does he stand out," one may ask...from the picture above, you can see that he owns the best beard in the field...hands down.

Now Marts does have one result on his Hendon Mob resume, a final table finish in Event #9 of the Roughrider Poker Tour, hosted in Bismarck, North Dakota (those poker tour names are serious).  The ninth place cash in the $240 buy-in event saw a return of $756, which he could easily top with a deep run in this event.

Some other notables in the field that may have some "beard envy," include names like:

Dolphins Powers
Frank Scala
Eric Brewster
Morris Heider
Zaki Lichaa
Daniel Miller
Jaime Wiegrefe
Oneil McCalla
Michael Russo
Louis Leo IV
Lev Parnas
Kevin Scarola
