Annette is the Queen at the WSOPE

Filed in archive Tournament News on September 19, 2007

Much to the plight of the Wicked Chops Poker guys, a woman has conquered all in a major poker tournament. Fire and brimstone falling from the sky jokes aside, this particular woman was no slouch/unknown before shoving her 10,000 British Pounds to receive a tournament entry ticket to the World Series of Poker Europe's Main Event.

Annette Obrestad (a.k.a online poker phenom Annette_15) took home over a million British pounds while defeating all 362 runners with her skilled play and ice cold emotions that were held tight until her name was announced as the tourney's victor (or is that victoress?).

Youngest WSOP bracelet holder, most money won by a woman in WSOP history, and other records noted by Change100 are just a start to this Norwegian's live poker career. Watch out WSOP 2009 or 2010 when she's old enough to travel to the States to take home a few more shiny wrist trinkets.

As always, the WSOP is covered by the awesome PokerNews team, hop on the link to Annette's victory here.
