Annette_15 Wins WSOPE Main Event & Becomes Youngest Bracelet Winner
By Pauly from Tao of Pokerauly's Poker Blog
-London
Annette_15 is three days shy of her 19th birthday. She's been playing poker for almost four years. And guess what? Not only did she win the WSOPE main event, she also became the youngest bracelet winner in the history of the wsop.
Annette_15 won the equivalent of $2 million US for her epic victory in the WSOPE main event. She busted Annie Duke and Jen Harman en route to her first place finish.
362 players bought into the first ever WSOPE £10,000 main event championship. After one grueling week of poker, spread out over three different casinos, we have our final table of nine fortunate souls, one of which will take home a first place prize of £1,000,000. In US dollars, that's a cool $2 million. Of course, the prize pool fell short of that mark, but betfair.com added prize money to the pool so first place could win £1 million.
The payouts were top heavy and not much different between 11th and 36th place. That meant action on Day 4 was fast paced. There were 10 bustouts in the first two hours of play.
All eyes are on Annette_15. I predicted that she'd win in yesterday's post. She took over the chiplead at one point, then got crippled when she three-bet all in with 3-3, only to lose to the Hilton Sisters. She looks like she's in high school (because she is). She speaks nearly perfect English and has been chatting it up with Change100 all week.
Here's the bio that I wrote about her for poker news:

Gus Hansen bubbled off the final table in 10th palce on a cooler. He went out with the Hilton Sisters versus Matt McCullough's pocket Kings. That hand propelled McCullough into the chiplead. He's the only American at the final table. When I asked him if her preferred to or by Matt or Matthew, he said, "Matt. Unless I win, then it will be Sir Matt!"All eyes are on Annette_15. I predicted that she'd win in yesterday's post. She took over the chiplead at one point, then got crippled when she three-bet all in with 3-3, only to lose to the Hilton Sisters.

Here's the bio that I wrote about her for poker news:
Annette "Annette_15" Obrestad
Hometown: Sandnes, Norway
Chip Count: 697,000
If you play online poker tournaments, you have probably come across Annette_15. She's been taking the poker world by storm over the last few months. Her real name is Annette Obrestad. The 19-year old student is from a coastal town in southwest Norway that was once considered the herring capital of the world. These days, it's the home town of one of the best online poker players in the world.
Some people consider her to be the best female No-Limit Hold'em player in the world. Some consider her the best NL tournament player under 21-years old in the world. And others consider her one of the best online NL tournament player... period. It's hard to argue with her outstanding record.
Her appearance at the final table marks her coming out party. For the first time, the poker world can catch a glimpse of the prodigy. She's often in the top spot on Pocket Five's leaderboard and has won their Triple Crown. Most people don't know about her yet, because she's not old enough to play in US-based tournaments.
Annette_15 has been crushing the competition online over the last year. In the first two weeks of May of this year, she's earned over $68,000! That's substantially more money than most adults make in a single year. She final tabled the $2,500 buy-in World Championship of Online Poker main event on PokerStars last year. Last month, she took down the $500K on Full Tilt, where she put on a clinic at the final table.
There's a rumor floating around that she started playing online poker at the ripe age of 15, hence the screen name Annette_15. She got her first exposure to poker from her father who taught her how to play five-card stud and seven-card stud as a young girl. She eventually signed up for an online poker account and as the legend goes, her mother refused to let her fund an account with a credit card so Annette_15 ended up winning $9 in a freeroll and has not looked back since.
At the tables, Annete_15 is fearless. She's tough to read and is willing to play any two cards. She's an aggressive player and will re-raise you with absolutely nothing if she senses the slightest weakness. She's a shark at the tables and often destroys veteran NL players, which is mind blowing because most girls her age are more interested in going to the mall or spending endless hours on the phone instead of multi-tabling several tournaments.
Annette_15 busted Annie Duke at the featured TV table on Day 4. She also busted Jen Harman. At one point Annette_15 held the chiplead. She comes into the final table 5th in chips. She is trying to become the youngest WSOP bracelet winner of all time.

Annette was a well deserved winner. There was a lot of talk about her history of online success and she really showed what a player she was yesterday.
John played good too, from the get-go of the final table you could really see it was going to be one of those two who would take it down.
Congrats to Annette on being the first woman to win a $1m+ WSOP prize, and of course the youngest person ever to win a WSOP bracelet.

She's a superstar, that's for sure. She was on a major major push online before this game, but this has got to catapult her right into the top handful of players.
Hopefully this will be the end of the "pretty but clueless" group of female players like Isabelle Mercier, Erica Schoneburg (or whaterver her name is) and Evelyn Ng, who poker magazines and websites seem to think we'll be interested in.

WSOPE, Event 3 - £10,000 NLHE, Final Table: Annette Obrestad Makes History
September 17, 2007
John 'Falstaff' Hartness
norway's Annette 'Annette_15' Obrestad became both the youngest person to ever win a World Series bracelet and the first woman to ever win a WSOP Main Event title when she finished atop a field of 362 entrants in the first-ever world series of poker Europe £10,000 Main Event tournament. In winning the WSOP Europe bracelet, Obrestad not only won the largest buy-in Main Event in WSOP history, she also bested a field larger than all pre-1999 Main Event fields. The 19-year-old Norwegian truly earned the right to call herself a World Champion when she came out on top of a grueling final table that lasted even longer than the 2007 Main Event final table in Las Vegas.
Obrestad started the day in the middle ofthe pack, with starting chip stacks for the finalists as follows:
Seat 1: Johannes Korsar - 1,134,000
Seat 2: Oyvind Riisem - 664,000
Seat 3: John Tabatabai - 982,000
Seat 4: Annette Obrestad - 697,000
Seat 5: Dominic Kay - 490,000
Seat 6: Matthew McCullough - 1,278,000
Seat 7: Theo Jorgensen - 605,000
Seat 8: Magnus Persson - 1,231,000
Seat 9: James Keys - 172,000
James Keys started the day on the short stack, and got all his chips in the middle on the third hand of the day, moving all in from the small blind with
. Magnus Persson called with
, and when the board came down
, Keys was eliminated. The 21-year-old Englishman took home £61,540 for his ninth-place finish.
Theo Jorgensen came to the final table with more major tournament experience than his tablemates, having a WSOP final table under his belt ($5,000 Stud in 2007) and an EPT final table as well (Copenhagen). The oldest member of the final table at 35, Jorgensen went to the rail in eighth after being crippled by John Tabatabai. On hand #38, Jorgensen shoved all in over the top of Tabatabai's reraise with pocket tens and Tabatabai quickly called with kings. No help arrived for Jorgensen, and he was left with an extremely short stack. He got the rest of his chips in the middle three hands later against Obrestad and was eliminated in eighth (£85,070).
After starting the day second in chips, Magnus Persson saw his stack slowly disintegrate over the first few levels. He found himself on a short stack in hand #59, and pushed all in pre-flop with
, only to find himself called by Tabatabai, who once again held pocket kings. The final board was
, and Persson picked up £114,030 as he departed.
It only took a few minutes for Dominic Kay to follow Persson to the rail after tangling with Matthew McCullough in hand #67. Kay shoved all in from the big blind with
, and McCullough called with
. The flop of
brought a set for McCullough, and no help materialized on the turn or river for Kay. He was eliminated in sixth place for £154,040.
The pace slowed after Kay's elimination, with almost two orbits passing before the next knockout. After Ovyind Riisem raised preflop and both Tabatabai and McCullough called, Johannes Korsar pushed all in over the top. Tabatabai called, and the players showed:
Tabatabai –
Korsar –
The flop brought a set for Tabatabai, and Korsar was eliminated in fifth (£191,860).
Riisem was the next to fall when he called McCullough's all in with pocket nines. McCullough showed
, and Riisem got no help from the deck. The 22-year-old Norwegian picked up £257,020 for his fourth-place finish.
After players came back from dinner, play remained three-handed for a while before McCullough got all his chips in ahead of Tabatabai. On a flop of
, McCullough and Tabatabai got into a raising war that culminated with McCullough all in with
versus Tabatabai's
. An ace on the turn sealed McCullough's fate, and the last American standing was eliminated in third for £381,910.
After an arduous heads-up match that lasted almost as many hands as the rest of the final table, Obrestad got all the chips in the middle with Tabatabai drawing all but dead. On a flop of
, Obrestad led out and Tabatabai raised. Obrestad pushed all in with
, and Tabatabai called with
. Obrestad's top set was good all the way and she became the first winner of the WSOP Europe Main Event, the first woman to win a WSOP tournament with a buy-in over $10,000, and the youngest player (by far) ever to win a WSOP bracelet. The 19-year-old Obrestad can't even play in the 2008 WSOP, because she's too young. Obrestad had long ago proven herself in online poker circles, but this win catapulted her into the upper reaches of live-tournament poker stardom.
Here are the final-table finishes and the amount won:
1. Annette Obrestad - £1,000,000
2. John Tabatabai - £570,150
3. Matthew McCullough - £381,910
4. Oyvind Riisem - £257,020
5. Johannes Korsar - £191,860
6. Dominic Kay - £152,040
7. Magnus Persson - £114,030
8. Theo Jorgensen - £85,070

You realize a bunch of women have won bracelets in open fields before? Jen Harman has two, Annie Duke has one, Katja Thater won the razz bracelet this year, I know there are others.
Annette is definitely a powerhouse player. It will be interesting to watch her here in the states when she turns 21.

Woops, fixed my post.
