Mercier originally learned to player poker as a child, [ [http://www.pokerpages.com/articles/profiles/isabellemercier.htm Pokerpages.com profile] ] but prior to turning to a poker career, she earned an undergraduate law degree from the Université de Montréal and practiced commercial law for six months.

During her time working at the Aviation Club she was nominated for Staff Person of the Year twice at the European Poker Awards. [ [http://www.isabellemercier.com/ Isabellemercier.com biography] ]

She first made a name for herself by finishing in second place in the €800 No Limit hold 'em tournament at the Masters Classic of Poker 2002 in Amsterdam, where she earned $53,499.

In 2004 Mercier won the World Poker Tour (WPT) Ladies' Night tournament to win the $25,000 first prize, where Mike Sexton nicknamed her "No Mercy." [ [http://www.worldpokertour.com/players/?x=profile&id=3756 World Poker Tour: Isabelle Mercier] ]

In 2005 she finished tenth in the European Poker Tour (EPT) Grand Final in Monte Carlo, earning €23,090, and outlasting players such as World Series of Poker (WSOP) runner-up Julian Gardner, WPT multi-tournament winner Gus Hansen, WPT season 2 champion Martin De Knijff and Barny Boatman. Also in 2005, she had three money finishes at the WSOP.

Mercier made her first EPT final table in February 2006 in Deauville, finishing seventh at a final table also featuring Ram Vaswani and Kirill Gerasimov.

Mercier has her own instructional DVD and appeared in the documentary "That's Poker". In January 2008, she released her own biography: "Profession : bluffeuse" (Profession: Bluffer), in Montreal and printed in France by Flammarion.
