NORWEGIAN POKER PRODIGY SIGNS WITH BETFAIR
21 September 2007
Young WSOP star has an exciting future
One of the young gun players who sprang into sharp focus
at this year's World Series of Poker in Las Vegas was
Norwegian poker prodigy Annette Obrestad, an almost
nineteen year old Internet player who has been making
online poker waves under the handle "Annette 15."
At the inaugural World Series of Poker Europe currently
running in London she has continued to impress, and this
week the Betfair group which organises the European
spectacular announced that it had signed Obrestad up as
a poker ambassador.
Betfair was quick off the mark in securing this
impressive young talent - Annette is currently one of
the top ranked online poker players in the world, with
both youth and looks on her side.
Commenting on her new role for Betfair, Obrestad said:
“I am very happy that we reached an agreement, and I am
happy it was Betfair. Their management and poker client
are both something I really like. I am looking forward
to being a good ambassador for them, and can focus on
getting good results.”
Betfair’s Frode Helland said the company was delighted
to have signed up such a promising young player: "In our
opinion, she is one of the world’s best online
tournament players, and we are sure that she will have
great success playing live, as well over the Internet.”
