Annette Obrestad wasn’t able to participate in the WSOP not because she lacks talents, but because she was too young. This amazing poker player started playing at the tender age of 15, as revealed by her user name “Annette_15”. However, now that Annette has turned 21, nothing can stop her from participating in the World Series of Poker (WSOP), the most prestigious international poker event of the world.
Annette’s poker career began the day a friend sent her some money to become a funded player at an online poker room. Annette turned out to be so talented at playing poker that she did not have to make another deposit. She found herself winning game after game and was soon confident enough to participate in multi table tournaments. Next, she participated in the World Series of Poker Europe (WSOPE) and claimed the title and the fabulous WSOPE main event prize.
Although Europe openly acknowledged Annette’s talent and allowed her to participate in the WSOP, US laws prevented her from participating in the WSOP because she was underage. But now that she is 21, no law in the world can stop her from dominating the WSOP tables. Annette attracted attention in the poker gaming world not only because of her talent, but also because of her age. Last Sunday, she won $87,000 in the PokerStars Sunday 500, which she plans to spend on the buy-in for WSOP 2010.
Poker buffs are already looking forward to watching Annette’s performance in the WSOP. Annette might be having an amazing record of tournament wins; however, the WSOP brings together some of the toughest poker players in the world. As usual, this year’s WSOP will witness the usual poker pros as well as a sprinkling of amateurs fighting for the titles. One of them will be Phil Ivey, who reached the final table last year, but could not last till the end. This year, the regular pros will have to compete with Annette too.
