Isabelle Mercier

Canadian born Isabelle "No Mercy" Mercier, known for her intense play leapt into the spotlight when she took the World Poker Tour Ladies Night II event in 2004. Isabelle finished in the money three times in 2005 and has racked up a tidy pile of poker loot.

The gossip on Isabelle is she's single, living out of hotels the world over and loving life. She also has two law degrees, including a Masters in International Law from the Sorbonne in Paris. She was just 23... There's an open invite at my place if you ever need a couch to crash on (guest room actually), Isabelle. No funny business though!

Okay, aside from being a hottie poker playing legal eagle jet setter with a pile of cash, what else is Issabelle into?

You'll notice she now sports PokerStars gear in all the tournaments. She's their travelling ambassador and can be found playing online from time to time as well. Hit up PokerStars for a game. In addition to all the tournaments, Isabelle has commentated several events at the Aviation Club in Paris where she worked while in school, has been nominated for European Poker Awards as Casino Staff Person of the Year and Rookie of the Year and worked on a poker book with Gus Hansen.

Her website, though I'd like to slap the designer for making the thing so full of bells and whistles it's near impossible to navigate, is at IsabelleMercier.com. Seriously though, Isabelle, your webdesigner was too busy showing off the latest website gadgetry when building your site. They totally missed your business goals of having a site in the first place.

For those who wish to comment how I don't have any idea what I'm talking about, cosider that you have to enable pop-ups to get anywhere and that your browser's back button starts the intro movie over again, no matter where you've been, the code is flooded with comment tag spam and has no navigable links for the search engines, etc. I've been in web marketing since the '90s, I do have a small clue what I'm talking about...

Okay, rant over. Back to the poker and the babes.

Jasmin Ouschan

Okay, remember that bit up top, the bit about throwing in girls from other games now and then? Well Jasmin counts!

I don't know much about her. I believe she's Austrian (Europe, not down under for those of you geographically challenged). She also plays pool and wins - a lot!

I was watching some poker one day (forget who was playing or who won) and billiards came on after. There was Jasmin Ouschan (sounded like "ocean" when the commentators said it) running the table on some other chick. She was hot and crazy good at nine ball, so here she is...

Pool and poker are close enough in my book - close enough for horseshoes, hand grenades and blogging. I dig 9-ball and Jasmin is among the best. If you want to know more (see more, is more like it, you pervs!), go visit Jasmin online at Jasmin-Ouschan.com.

Evelyn Ng

Okay, this just flat out, would not be any sort of a "poker babes" blog without Evy. Evelyn Ng is the hottest girl in poker and she's not a spokesmodel or hostess - the girl plays a damn fine game!

Evelyn became a blackjack and poker dealer after graduating high school. She started hanging out with that lucky punk, Daniel Negreanu (I love ya' Daniel, but sheesh!), her "friend" and mentor, and started getting serious about poker. She finished second in the first WPT Ladies Night and has finished in the money in many tournaments and events since.

She has worked hard on her game, constantly improving, and has developed into a serious contender in any event she plays. Evy reads her openents well and mixes up her game, adapting to the situation and competition. This has served her in good stead.

To hone her skills, Evelyn plays five days a week for an average of six hours a day! Her goal is to become the first woman to win the World Series of Poker Main Event, or take a WPT open-field title.

Besides being a prominent player and true poker babe, Evelyn deals on the WPT Hollywood Home Games series and pops into other TV roles now and then. Evelyn is big into media and a gaming buff, she enjoys music, writing, movies, magazines, TV, computers, gaming, shooting pool (perhaps the only game I could take her at) and pop culture.

Evelyn's website can be found at EvyBabee.com and yes boys, there is a photo gallery...
