Annette Obrestad wins tournament with 20,000 entries.
Annette Obrestad, Annette_15, Sunday 100k tournament, WSOPE main event March 12th, 2008Annette Obrestad AKA “Annette_15” on pokerstars continues to silence the critics and prove she is one of the best online MTT players in the world. Annette took down the $10 buy-in Sunday 100k tournament on Pokerstars, which had outrageous 20,000 entries. There are still those who say she just runs good, or is a “luckbox”. While this may be partially true, you can not deny the skill and patience it would require for one to outlast that field. It certainly requires a fair amount of luck to win any tournament, and even Annette admits she was running like a god through the tournament, winning several coin flips. This adds to Annette’s already impressive resume which include a WSOPE main event win, a final table at the ’06 WCOOP, and her taking down a 180 person SnG without looking at her cards. It will be interesting to see what happens when she turns 21.

A Poker tournament with 20,000 players is definitely tough to win. It does require some luck, but you are not going to win it on luck alone. You need to have the poker skills and the luck is just a bonus.
I’m not too familar with Annette Obrestad but she has a fre good poker accomplishments.
