Annette_15 Signs with Betfair
September 16, 2007 - Domenica DiPiero
Annette Obrestad is one of the hottest names in poker. Don't know her? The cute Norwegian teenager - she's just 19 - is already an online legend. Perhaps you've heard of Annette_15? That's her internet username. Annette, who regularly takes down massive pots for massive cash and recently won a Full Tilt Poker $500,000 Sunday Guarantee which netted her $117,000, has decided that it's time to concentrate more on her live action game.
Of course, once online sites caught wind of that, the femme phenom was flooded with offers. She reached an aggreement with one, however. That's Betfair Poker. Annette has said she's very "happy" with the arrangement and she is "looking forward to being a good ambassador for them." She also wants to focus "on getting good results."
Betfair doesn't think this will be a problem at all. Frode Helland, their Norwegian marketing manager, said, "We are thrilled to get Annette on our professional poker team, and have great belief that we will be seeing a lot of Annette in the years to come. In our opinion she is one of the world's best online tournament players, and we are sure that she will have great success also playing live in
the years to come."
We totally agree with Betfair's assessment, and we're pretty sure that the world has only just begun to hear about Annette Obrestad's poker achievements.
You go, girl!
