Betfair Celebrates Annette_15 with a Special Tourney

Annette Obrestad made headlines all over the world after taking down the inaugural WSOPE Main Event earlier this fall. The young woman – she was one day shy of her 19th birthday when she won the championship and $2,000,000 – also received a sweet, 5-year sponsorship deal with tournament sponsor BetfairPoker.
Betfair is quite happy to have Annette as part of its team. Annette is happy to be there as she says in her special Betfair Blog. The official sponsor of the WSOPE has replaced its twice weekly $16k tourney with a $20k Guaranteed Event. This tourney has a buy-in of $212 and occurs each Tuesday and Friday at 19.30 GMT.
Players start with 5,000 chips and the blinds go up every fifteen minutes giving you lots of playing time. In addition, there’s a bounty on the lovely Norwegian teen’s head. Take Annette out of the tourney and you get an automatic seat to the site’s $50k GTD.
The best thing is that Annette’s successes are shared with tournament players. If the Norwegian phenom makes the final table, Betfair will add $1,000 more to the prize pool the next time the event is held. If Annette wins, Betfair will put up a seat to Betfair’s WSOPE 2008 Main Event qualifier as her bounty for the following tournament.
See Betfair Poker today for more details on the Annette_15 $20k GTD tournaments!
