Title: Isabelle Mercier & the British Poker Open Post by: tikay on May 04, 2005, 10:28:36 PM Hi Guys,
Isabelle Mercier's Mum is at home in Canada, & is trying to keep tabs on how Isabelle is doing in tonights heat of the BPO, & has asked if we can help. Can we, working as a team, keep her updated via blonde? The present position, as of 2 minutes ago, was.... 5 players left. Tindall, 169k Dahl, 165k Walters 138k John Gale 65k (he just got paid with AA) Isabelle Mercier 63k. From what I gather, Isabelle has been card dead so far. If anyone has any more info - I have only just got home - please post it here. Title: Re: Isabelle Mercier & the British Poker Open Post by: tikay on May 04, 2005, 10:32:25 PM And this was the note Isabelle's Mum sent me - don't you just love the "allo Tikay".....
"......Allo Tikay, Isabelle is somewhere in England tonight for a live TV tournament. Would you happen to know where I could follow the game, if I can, or may be you are there yourself. If she wins tonight, she will be on semi-final on Sunday. Cold you help me get some news ? Isabelle's mum, Thank you....." How touching is THAT? Title: Re: Isabelle Mercier & the British Poker Open Post by: Karabiner on May 04, 2005, 10:41:43 PM Bonsoir Isabelle's mum,
Current standings are: 5 left, Isabelle in 2nd place with 141k Chip leader has 180k A bientot ! Title: Re: Isabelle Mercier & the British Poker Open Post by: tikay on May 04, 2005, 10:43:45 PM You must have bought her luck Mum - Isabelle is now in 2nd place!
She moved in with QJ, and forced Mike Tindall with the dominating KJ to pass, but Walters called with A-5. Isabelle caught her Q & is in good shape now. Lucky for her that Mike Tindall passed though - he would have hit a staight & busted her! Title: Re: Isabelle Mercier & the British Poker Open Post by: tikay on May 04, 2005, 10:45:23 PM There you go, you even got stuff in French now from fellow blondeite Karabiner.
Anyone care to tell me what "A bientot" means? Title: Re: Isabelle Mercier & the British Poker Open Post by: Surprise on May 04, 2005, 10:47:11 PM ?bient? means See you soon
Keep me up date, Thank you very much Title: Re: Isabelle Mercier & the British Poker Open Post by: tikay on May 04, 2005, 10:59:52 PM Karabiner, can you keep this updated for the next half hour please. I gotta watch the new edition of Poker 425 at 11pm, for 30 minutes. Regrettably it features not one but TWO Poker 425 presenters in swimwear........
A bientot - in about 30 minutes. Hehe..... Title: Re: Isabelle Mercier & the British Poker Open Post by: Karabiner on May 04, 2005, 11:03:03 PM Isabelle in 3rd psition with roughly 100k
Chip leader is a guy with 200k who needs to get very lucky to win Title: Re: Isabelle Mercier & the British Poker Open Post by: Karabiner on May 04, 2005, 11:05:16 PM Blinds are 5k 10k

I hear Tikay and the Notts boys are planning to wear Isabelle face masks when they play you heads up Ariston, as they know you will be putty in their hands lol Title: Re: Isabelle Mercier & the British Poker Open Post by: Karabiner on May 04, 2005, 11:40:39 PM Still 5 left in.
Action is very slow, and Isabelle seems a little card-dead. But one double through would make her near enough chip leader. Blinds are still 5k/10k Title: Re: Isabelle Mercier & the British Poker Open Post by: ariston on May 04, 2005, 11:44:21 PM Shes just gone, tried a resteal on John Gale who made the call with kq. Unlucky isabelle.
ariston Title: Re: Isabelle Mercier & the British Poker Open Post by: Karabiner on May 04, 2005, 11:46:36 PM Bad luck Isabelle.
After being card-dead for an age she made a move with T4 reraising John Gale, who had raised with KT. Gale eventually called and Isabelle missed Title: Re: Isabelle Mercier & the British Poker Open Post by: Surprise on May 04, 2005, 11:50:13 PM Well, thank you very much for the info.
She'll do better in Paris. Good evening all. Title: Re: Isabelle Mercier & the British Poker Open Post by: tikay on May 04, 2005, 11:52:48 PM Well there you go Surprise (Mum), we were rooting for your lovely daughter, but she just could not find the cards when it mattered. But she was gracious in defeat in her interview.
And if she decides to play the Blackpool Main Event on Saturday, you will be able to follow her progress here on blonde. Sadly, I won't be playing Paris, as Poker 425 will be in Vienna that week, but we wish her well. A bientot! Title: Re: Isabelle Mercier & the British Poker Open Post by: Ironside on May 05, 2005, 12:04:21 AM Bad luck Isabelle. After being card-dead for an age she made a move with T4 reraising John Gale, who had raised with KT. Gale eventually called and Isabelle missed you need new glasses mate she tried the steal with 84 got called by kq 8 and q on flop k on river and she was toast french toast !!!! anyway i have to call it a night have to be up early in morning see you guys in blackpool at weekend where i plan on walking away with the one off the bubble (we all know tikay will get the bubble) Title: Re: Isabelle Mercier & the British Poker Open Post by: Surprise on May 05, 2005, 12:11:43 AM Hi there,
I don't think Isabelle will play the Blackpool Main Event on Saturday. But if she does, I will be watching through Blonde. Till then, bye and have fun, Title: Re: Isabelle Mercier & the British Poker Open Post by: Colchester Kev on May 05, 2005, 12:15:51 AM Ironsides application form for the "Diplomatic Corp" is in the post ;)

Ian Title: Re: Isabelle Mercier & the British Poker Open Post by: tikay on May 05, 2005, 09:28:26 AM I don't believe I said or implied anywhere in this thread that Isabelle was French.....
