Hot of the press in WCOOP Event 5 on PokerStars, the $10,300 NL Holdem event

A very controversial hand just happened, with NoMercy (PokerStars pro Isabelle Mercier) draining her entire 200 second+ timebank before calling.   This led to many accusations of slowrolling, as it looked like a tricky dilemma over whether to call with an Ace, but as it turned out she was sat on set with an apparent much easier (standard) call.

Here is the actual alleged slowroll hand:-

Well, this girl from Norway sure runs good!

2. 10th Sept 2007 - Wins the WSOPE Main Event (£10,000 buy-in), a small matter of £1,000,000, which is equivalent of around $2,000,000

3. 7th Oct 2007 - Wins a $216 buy-in on Full Tilt (1st of 728 entrants), winning $34,944

4. 30th Oct 2007 - 2nd in EPT Dublin, winning around $430,000

5. 18th Dec 2007 - 5th out of 319 in a $1050 buy-in on Full Tilt, winning $22,330

6. 13th Feb 2008 - 5th out of 377 in a $1050 buy-in on PokerStars, winning $22,620

Well, Annette_15 managed it in style.  1st out of 20,000, winning $20,000

Long may the wins continue
