18 Year Old Annette Obrestad Wins WSOP Europe Presented by Betfair.com
The World Series of Poker Europe (WSOPE) has come and gone, and with it, has launched a fresh face into the poker spotlight. Previously unsure of how the tournament would be received by the poker world, there are no longer doubts that it was a major success for the World Series of Poker, for host Betfair.com and for young online poker enthusiasts around the world.
If you’ve been keeping tabs on the tournament updates, you already know that it was won by 18-year old Annette Obrestad from Norway. Building up her poker savvy online, she’s become a serious force to reckon with. Beating out the top players in the game, Obrestad walked away with over $2,000,000 as the youngest player to claim a WSOP title, and first female to win the main event. Both records should prove highly difficult to beat in the years to come.
The buzz about the tournament’s success now predicts next year may be even stronger, bringing out only the most skilled of players — many of these young, new players gaining their best experience online, like Obrestad. The proof is in the pudding that just about anyone, male or female, young or old, can translate their online poker playing skills into successful real-world table play, and win big. Do you have what it takes to sweep WSOP Europe off its feet next year? You could be the next big star in Europe, competing against the likes of Phil Hellmuth, Daniel Negreanu, and Johnny Chan…and winning.

I know this will sound very chauvinistic, but I am VERY impressed a girl has won! About time too, because having played at the same table as my wife I have witnessed firsthand that girls are dangerous at a poker table. If you don’t take them seriously you will soon be staring at your chips on their side of the table!
I’m glad you wrote about Annette Obrestad. She’s an amazing player, and one of the youngest person to ever win a WSOP bracelet. She’s undoubtedly one of the best online multi-table tournament players in the world, and I really enjoy seeing more woman dominating the table also!
