Our media table is set up in the corner of the Grand Waldo's poker room and about two minutes after the first card was dealt we felt a slight breeze whisk past, as Isabelle Mercier ran by us trying to get to her seat.
If she could do it all over again, she might have chosen to take a bit more time . . . Moments after she took her seat, she ran pocket kings into an opponent's pocket aces and was eliminated from the tournament.
