Event 11: My Favorite Martin

$300 + $50 PLO (high)

Scrolling through the list of tournament entrants, one name jumps out at you: Dean Martin.
Could it be a distant relative of the late comedic actor, best known as a member of the Rat Pack?

If not, is he a fan of Martin's work or his singing of "That's Amore!" Or is he just an average guy cursed with the same name of a mega star?

This Dean Martin is from Chambersburg, PA, casually playing Pot Limit Omaha during the Borgata Winter Poker Open, and dealing with his table mates who claim the name sounds "made up." In the end Martin has a good time with his distinct moniker.

"I tell people I named my son Jerry Lewis."

For the more seasoned players this is a witty line, for the younger generation, Google it!
