| Bio: Marc "Myst" Karam is a professional poker player hailing from Ottawa, Canada. Karam started playing in 2001 and found his way into online poker shortly thereafter. As a loyal professional wrestling fan, Karam derived his online nickname "Myst" in honor of his favorite wrestler, Ray Mysterio Jr. Karam has displayed the same toughness as his wrestling icons, outlasting some of the toughest tournament fields in professional poker. One of Karam’s most impressive feats include his two final table appearances in the EPT Grand Final Championship Event held in Monte Carlo. Karam was able to boost his bankroll by over 1.6 million dollars just from his 2nd and 4th place finishes in those events alone. | ||
