Good luck!

On a side note, what goes through your mind right before going all-in second hand at a big poker tourney with a flush draw?

I'd rather stay home and sleep than do something like that.

Well, the latest update has Isabelle showing No Mercy and sitting in fifth. But then the post above it states that the chip leader (with 500K+ chips) has been knocked out. So I don't know where that puts her. Fourth? Higher???

Go Isabelle! We're rootin' for ya!

The final table is set for the EPT France tomorrow. Eight players will face off for the top prize of 480,000 euros (plus a e10,000 buy-in to the EPT Final).

The final table is:
Ram Vaswani (Eng) 1,191,500
Isabelle Mercier (Can) 428,000
Mark Boudewijn (Hol) 911,500
Kirill Gerasamov (Rus) 215,000
Patric Martensson (Swe) 291,000
Brian Gilbert (Eng) 125,500
Theo Jorgensen (Den) 809,500

That's right people, our favourite lady of the cards, Isabelle Mercier is among those vying for the title!

Go Isabelle!

When they got down to 10 players, Isabelle had "only" $152k. She doubled with with QQ vs AK (by making a straight, which likely means he almost knocked her out) and has a nice stack now.

There is some nice money on the line here. These are the payouts:

GL Isabelle.

I thought I had read that she doubled up with QQ making an "unnecessary" straight. I read that to imply that she had him before that. Of course, the only way that makes sense is if the river was a king...

Or a J, T, 9, or 8 (with no A or K on the board).

Duh...stupid Rob. That's what I get for trying to think after being up from 6:45am...
