TonyBet Glory Series and The Unstoppable Mercier

When you’re going for glory, NoMercy is the only battle-cry you’ll ever need – at least if you are Canadian poker sensation Isabelle Mercier that is, who continued her phenomenal run in Open-Faced Chinese poker by taking down the 3rd event in TonyBet’s €100K guaranteed Glory series 2017.

With 24 events in just 8 days, the successful mix of No Limit Hold’em and the challenging OFC has seen record numbers of players trying their luck on one of poker’s best-known sites – founder and owner Antanas ‘Tony G’ Guoga turning a little-known variant of our favorite game into a full-scale business model and poker player’s paradise.

Mercier, whom Tony G signed up as an ambassador for the site after she took down the OFC world championship a couple of years ago, proved she still has what it takes by scooping the €10K+ first prize and becoming the first official Progressive Pineapple OFC World Champion, the delighted winner sharing on Facebook.

It’s not only a Canadian female affair though, and TonyBet have ensured you don’t have to be one of the most successful players of all time to play, with buy-ins ranging all the way from €20 up to €100.

TonyBet explained:

"We’re holding main OFC and main NLHE Poker events with €100 buy-ins for those who prefer their poker with a proper rush of adrenaline, as well as mini-versions with €20 buy-ins for those who prefer lower-limits kind of fun.”

Now half-way through the 2017 Glory series – and with Mercier cashing again in her bid to take down the leaderboard race which has an extra €5000 up for grabs – thoughts are inevitably turning to this weekend’s big two - the NLHE Main Event and the OFC Main Event.

There’s still plenty of time to hone your OFC skills, however, with Deepstack Pineapple and both Hyper and Turbo events in the lead-up to the €10,000 guaranteed OFC championship event on Sunday, as well as the €3K guaranteed No Limit Main Event (for the likes of me who can barely handle 2 hole cards let alone 13!)

The PLO events have proved to be a big hit, and it’s obviously a deliberate plan from TonyBet to offer their regulars and visitors as wide a range of tournaments as possible – and the 2-7 Pineapple adds to that ethos, this coming Saturday evening the chance for fans of that variant to test their skills in a €20 1R1A event.

As we’ve come to expect from anything Tony G has a hand in, surprises and bonuses are the order of pretty much every day, so it’s standard fair for TonyBet to make you an offer you can’t refuse.

"Oh, and we’ve also got this awesome bonus for you that comes with a FREE ENTRY to one of our events!” they tell me, adding: “Top up your account with our special 100% up to €1,000 reload bonus, and we will give you a ticket to either Event #21 or Event #22."

That’s the €2K and €750 guaranteed Friday evening NLHE and OFC events respectively, and you can get your free ticket with the bonus code ChaseGlory or reload with the bonus code ChaseGloryOFC for Event #22! The offer stands until March 10th, 00:01 GMT, so best get your skates on.

You’ll still have a lot of work to do catch NoMercy Mercier….

..but I’ll let you in on a little secret – I bluffed her out of a big pot in No Limit many years ago, my finest 5 minutes! No idea if you can bluff in OFC though? Best read the rules again!

All in all, the current Glory series is proving once again that TonyBet are up there with the most innovative and exciting poker sites globally, and I wouldn’t put it past Isabelle to take down yet another title before the weekend is out.
