"It is funny how a girl that most of us will never meet has had such an impact… This young girl is like everybody's little sister. We have no envy, no jealousy. We love seeing her do well… You have thousands of people thinking about you this morning. And we are all smiling and thinking we are part of this as well." (an online player)
Built up a remarkable bankroll playing online freerolls without ever investing money from her own pocket; won an online tournament without looking at her hole cards; set several records: first woman to win a WSOP Main Event, youngest player to win a Golden Bracelet, highest amount of prize money ever won by a woman in one single event (as of February 2008)
The Scandinavian poker professional Annette Obrestad was born on September 18, 1988 in Sandnes, Norway. She is the poker community’s whizz kid and according to U.S. law, she wasn't even of age when she started winning her first tournaments! Other girls her age love to go out shopping or like to spend an evening at the cinema, but “Annette_15” (her online screen-name) prefers to play poker. Annette grew up in a small town called Sandnes and cannot imagine what her life would look like without cards. Her father used to play with her quite a lot and she was able to play Five-Card Stud and Seven-Card Stud at young age already...
