Player Profile on Isabelle Mercier
Category: Poker Pro Profiles
Isabelle Mercier is an integral part of team pokerstars, having been noticed shortly after launching her professional career in 2004. She is known to have an icy stare at the poker tables and an aggressive style of play to match. She won the 2004 WPT ‘Ladies Night Out’ event and continues to impress in tournament play, which she is said to prefer to the often favoured cash games. Isabelles life has not always seemed directed towards a career in poker, having been born in Quebec, Canada in 1975, she studied law whilst working to make ends meet as a card dealer, managing a masters degree in law by the age of 23. After practicing as a lawyer for a time Isabelle also was furthering her career in casinos too, working her way up to become manager in the well known Aviation Club de France. After some consideration however, Isabelle decided to set her sights on a different life and gave all this up, to travel the world living in hotels and playing professional poker.
Isabelle has had numerous finishes in the money in major tournaments over the past few years and has amassed live tournament earnings of around $350,000 during her promising fledgling poker career. She has certainly been noticed as an upcoming star by many poker players and if she is not to be found competing in a major tournament at any time, Isabelle spends time playing online at Pokerstars too under the pseudonym, which doubles as her nickname too, ?NoMercy?
