Isaac "Mr. Menlo" Baron has already had a lifetime's worth of poker success, but he's in his early twenties and nowhere close to slowing down. Isaac, formerly known on Full Tilt as “the guru 11,” won the Card Player Player of the Year award for a 2007 that included wins in the FTP $750,000 Guaranteed and many other major online tournaments. Isaac then went on to win the first event of FTOPS XIII in 2008.

Isaac's successes have gone far beyond the online tournament arena. Before he took 4th in the 2008 EPT Main Event in Monte Carlo, he had already finished 11th in the San Remo event.  In late 2009, he took 1st in the Caesars Palace Classic.  With these and other live cashes, Isaac has amassed over $3,000,000 in live tournament winnings despite his youth. Equally impressive are his cash-game credentials: he is skilled both at NLHE and PLO cash games, playing and beating high stakes in both games.
