Annette Obrestad has won “Tournament Performance of the Year” at the European Poker Awards, once again the youngest player to ever achieve that honor. The online wunderkind earned this recognition by besting a stacked field of live-action tournament pros en route to winning the inaugural WSOPE Main Event, considered by many to be one of the most amazing feats in modern Poker history. She was also up for “Rookie of the Year” and “Leading Female Player of the Year”, but was quite satisfied with the award she took home:
“I am so happy to win this award. I prefer this one than rookie of the year because I was up against such great players.”
Congratulations on the award, Annette. An appropriate acknowledgment of the great year you’ve had!
