Look closely at that face...just a little girl. Well this "little girl" just took down the WSOP-Europe Main Event (NLHE.)
Her name is Annette "Annette_15" Obrestad. She is just a few days shy of her 19TH BIRTHDAY!
After 5-days of grueling poker she bested the field in the £10,000 buy-in.
She walked away with the £1 million, or $2,013,102, first-place prize and a World Series of Poker bracelet.
She's been playing poker since she was 15 years old. At the time her mother refused to allow her to fund her account with a credit card.
She opted to play in freerolls, that offered up small cash prizes. She hit a $9 score, and since then has torn up the tables.
According to the Tao of Poker blog by Pauly:
"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! ...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.

Congratulations Annette!
