A GOOD 12 MONTHS FOR ANNETTE
Betfair prodigy wins two Scandinavian Poker Awards and wins Norway's 'Golden Hand'
The teenaged online poker ace who is Betfair's poker ambassadress, Annette Obrestad seemingly can't stop winning both on and off the poker table.
The 19 year old Betfair pro has picked up another three prestigious awards - the 'Gullhånda', or Golden Hand, which is the only poker prize awarded in her native Norway, plus two more accolades at the Scandinavian Poker Awards in Copenhagen.
It caps a phenomenal twelve months for Obrestad, who won the World Series of Poker Europe, presented by Betfair, back in September. Her GBP 1million first prize was the largest single cash win outside of Las Vegas. That feat secured her the award for the Best Performance of the Year at the Scandies and also gave her the title of Best Female Player.
For the 'Gullhånda', she beat Trond Erik Eidsvig in a heads up match after being nominated via an online vote. Previous winners include the two-time WSOP bracelet holder, Thor Hansen.
And as if that wasn't enough for the teenager - back in December she became the youngest ever winner at the European Poker Awards when she carried off the accolade for Tournament Performance of the Year.
