Annette Obrestad is a Norwegian poker player. Obrestad is the youngest person to ever win a World Series of Poker (WSOP) bracelet and in 2007 was considered to be one of the best online multi-table tournament players in the world.
Annette Obrestad started her poker career online when she was only fifteen years old using the online screen-name 'Annette_15'. She claims she never had to deposit money on any online poker site. Instead she made her initial online bankroll by winning freeroll poker tournaments from which she went on to amass several hundred thousand dollars in winnings. Between September 2006 and February 2007, she won over $500,000 on Pokerstars, $200,000 on UltimateBet, and $136,000 on Full Tilt Poker.
In 2006, as 'Annette_15' she finished in seventh place on PokerStars' World Championship of Online Poker's $2500 main event. This seventh place finish turned into a minor controversy when Obrestad admitted on a poker blog that she let somebody else play for her.

In July 2007, Obrestad won a $4 buy-in 180 person online sit-and-go where she claims to have played almost the entire tournament without looking at her cards. She claims she peeked at her cards once during the tournament, when she was faced with an all-in bet. She did this to show 'just how important it is to play position and to pay attention to the players at the table.'
On September 17, 2007 Obrestad won the inaugural World Series of Poker Europe Main Event the day before her 19th birthday. By winning the one million-pound sterling (US$2.01 million at the time of the event) first prize she edged the record for a single-event payout to a female player set previously by poker professional Annie Duke when she won $2 million at the 2004 Tournament of Champions. Prior to the 2007 WSOPE, Obrestad had only cashed in four other live poker tournaments.Obrestad will not be old enough to compete in the World Series of Poker events that are held in the United States until 2010. Under the gaming laws of Nevada, where the main WSOP is held, players must be at least 21. Although she will turn 21 in 2009, the WSOP is held in June and July, before her September birthday.

Annette Obrestad
Norwegian poker player Annette Obrestad was born on September 18, 1988. She has accumulated much success playing online under her screenname Annette_15, which is a reference to the fact that she started playing online poker at the tender age of 15.
Annette Obrestad was raking in the cash by playing at online poker sites, where she was known as a skilled and fierce competitor. However, the whole world would come to recognize her talent when she won the World Series of Poker Europe Main Event on September 17, 2007, becoming the youngest player ever to win a WSOP bracelet. This occurred after some stellar play that was capped when Annette Obrestad knocked out John Tabatabai in second place, her pocket sevens beating his 5-6 off suit. This victory earned Annette £1 million, which at the time was a little over $2 million. The slightly more than $2 million also set a new record for largest payout won by a female poker player in a single event. Annie Duke had held the previous record with the even $2 million she won at the 2004 WSOP Tournament of Champions.
Soon after Annette Obrestad would again prove her mettle in a live tournament, as in November of 2007 she finished as runner-up to Reuben Peters in the European Poker Tour Dublin Event. This performance added €297,800 to her live poker tournament winnings.
Although Annette Obrestad was able to play in the WSOP Europe, she had to wait until turning 21 years old on September 18, 2010 to compete at the World Series of Poker in Las Vegas, due to her age. No matter the tournament, Annette Obrestad’s track record of success will make her a feared opponent the instant she finds her seat in a major poker tournament.
Annette Obrestad has racked up a long list of online poker accomplishments, including a win in the Full Tilt Poker $500,000 guaranteed tournament as well as an impressive victory in the PokerStars $4 dollar 180 person sit and go. What makes this victory impressive is the fact that Annette Obrestad had placed a piece of paper over her hole cards, playing the poker tournament blind. Annette Obrestad admits to peeking at her hole cards once, when she was facing an all-in bet from an opponent. Annette played the poker tournament blind in order to show the importance of position play and the ability to read one’s opponents.
