“The Kiddie game is down the street!" - Mike Matusow
Curtom
The immortal words of Mike Matusow couldn’t be further from the truth. Just ask Annette Obrestad the latest multi-millionaire “kid” poker sensation. This 19 year old just took down the World Series of Poker Europe for a whopping $2 Million dollars and change! Not bad considering she’s barely a year out of High School.
I’ve never been a big fan of kids playing poker but this young lady might just change my mind. Not only is she tearing it up on-line but she has the live game chops to back up her growing reputation of being a hyper-aggressive monster at the tables. Annette has won over $1.5 Million dollars online on PokerStars and Full-Tilt and has just consummated an endorsement deal with online mega site Betfair based in Europe. The world has been waiting for a big time female main event winner and I think we just found one. So just how far can $3.5 Million dollars take you?
Can you say Vegas baby?
Deuces,
CIII

I’ve been a huge fan of her’s for a while now. The hyper-aggressiveness as you say has made her an interesting kind of poker player. I’ve been reading her blog over at Bet fair and some of it makes interesting reading.

Absolutely! Annette is a phenominal player and I am looking forward to seeing her play in the states when she is old enough. I definitely have my eyes out for her. Take care and thanks for posting!
