 Poker babe Isabelle Mercier was eliminated from the 2007 WSOP on Day 1b. Action folded around to Derrell McKee on the button who limped in. Isabelle Mercier moved all in from the big blind and McKee made the call. Mercier had 6, 5 not suited and McKee had a pair of 9’s.Mercier flopped a pair of fives but that would be the best hand she'd make. McKee's nines were best and Isabelle Mercier was sent to the rail. Every Sunday night Bodog.com has a $40,000.00 Guaranteed with a $50+5 buy-in at 8:30 PM EST.
Mercier was also a poker writer for two years before she decided to stray from poker room management. Isabelle left poker room management to play poker full time, and she has been playing professionally for a little more than a year.Isabelle Mercier is often called the “Babe of Poker” or the “Poker Babe” by those that are in the industry. She is known well by poker players, those that read about poker, and those that simply watch the World Poker Tour Championships. Perhaps you aren’t all that familiar with the name but you know the face, or the other way around? The reason for this would be that Isabelle has been the commentator for the last three editions of the World Poker Tour Championships located at the Aviation Club in Paris. Isabelle Mercier is known by many because she has also been nominated two times for the European Poker Awards for the Casino Staff Person of the Year. Isabelle Mercier won second place in a tournament in Europe and she has also been seated at 12 finals tables, and won a No Limit event at the European Poker Tour in Monte Carlo. Perhaps her biggest win, Isabella won the Ladies’ event of the World Poker Tour in Los Angeles. She won this title on September 1, 2004 and has been going strong ever since. Though women might not be as well known in the world of poker, Isabelle Mercier is a name that most poker players and fans know well.                        |
