Biograpy:
Isabelle Mercier Poker (born August 5, 1975 in Victoriaville, Quebec) is a professional poker player.
Isabelle worked as a blackjack dealer at the Casino de Montreal while earning a law degree from the University of Montreal. After getting her degree, she worked as a lawyer for a year and then moved to Paris to continue her studies with a master’s degree in international law at Sorbonne.
Soon after, she took a job as a poker dealer at the Aviation Club de France, and worked her way up to poker room manager and the right-hand man to boss Bruno Fitoussi, a French poker legend. She had this position for four years before giving it up in pursuit of her dream to become a professional poker player.
Isabelle Mercier poker made her debut on the professional circuit in 2004, quickly gaining respect and recognition. In her short tournament career she won more than $360,000. This includes her September 2004 WPT Ladies Night Out Invitational II win, where Mike Sexton dubbed her "No Mercy" Mercier for her aggressive style of play.
Her skills caught the eye of PokerStars.com, which selected her to become their traveling ambassador, representing the site at poker tournaments around the world. Mercier practices her tournament play on the site during her freetime, she plays under the name "NoMercy."
While many professional players enjoy playing cash games to earn their money, Isabelle Mercier poker prefers to play in tournaments. She enjoys the action and aggressiveness of play, which contrasts to the tone and pace of cash games, where players have to be more patient and disciplined.
In addition to numerous tournament wins, Isabelle has been the commentator for the three editions of the WPT Championships at the
Aviation Club de France, and has twice been nominated for the "European Poker Awards" in the "Casino Staff Person of the Year" category and once in the "Rookie of the Year" category.
Intimidation is one of Mercier’s strong suits. Not only is she known for her aggressive play, but other players often find themselves the victim of her intense stare as she waits for them to make a move. She lists Phil Ivey, Daniel Negreanu and her poker hero Gus Hansen, who she once worked with on a poker book, as three players she fears coming up against in a game.
As of 2008, her total live tournament winnings exceed $625,000.
She is a member of the PokerStars online poker cardroom’s "Team PokerStars" group of sponsored players.
In her free time, Mercier likes to read, run, take candlelit baths and listen to music.
