Isabelle Mercier is one female poker professional who exudes simplicity at poker tables. She is not like most poker professionals who have to wear hats or sunglasses or other weird stuff in an attempt to distract their opponents. There are even poker professionals who bring such things as oranges or other kinds of fruits for they allegedly bring luck to the players. Some even wear amulets for good luck.

Born in Victoriaville, Quebec on August 5, 1975, Isabelle Mercier learned how to play poker during her childhood days. The first poker opponents she had were her uncles and her father. At such an early age, she developed an interest in the game, vowing to herself that she would find a work related to the poker industry when she grew up.

This posed a great opportunity for her to learn how to play poker well until she got convinced that she could leave her job to become a female poker professional instead.

However, Isabelle Mercier had a life distant from the poker world before she got bitten by the poker bug. With her educational background, no one would actually think that she would end up being a female poker professional. She studied at the Université de Montréal to obtain an undergraduate law degree. She then practiced commercial law before eventually relocating to Paris, France to obtain her master's degree. But just like most poker professionals, she just realized how interested she was in poker that she did not even think twice about pursuing such ambition.
