Event 4: The Mint Man

$500 + $60 NL

Magic Mints Marker?

A lot of us poker players have our traditions and superstitions. One for Ukraine born Ilya Nudelman (Baltimore, MD) is his unusual card protector, a box of Borgata mints.

He's been using the marker for two years. Served him well in last years Winter Open as he final tabled an event.

Ilya's favorite tourny is the 6-handed.

"When I'm running bad, I just pop a couple mints and the good cards come" explained Ilay.

Whatever works for you, works for you. As for Ilay he might take a bad beat but you can be sure he doesn't have bad breath.
