Annette Obrestad Joins Full Tilt

Full Tilt Poker has stolen a march on their competitors Betfair Poker by poaching Swedish sensation Annette Obrestad who was once sponsored by the UK poker and betting exchange. Obrestad joins a Full Tilt Pro team packed with international stars of the poker tables and brings with her a wealth of talent online and in live tournaments.

Obrestad at the age of 21 has already set the Poker world alight by winning an online tournament completely blind, becoming the youngest ever winner of a World Series of Poker event – the World Series of Poker Europe Main Event, turning a $9 bankroll into millions and final tabling the 2010 Aussie Millions.

The newly signed Full Tilt Pro hosted the FTOPS XVI Main Event on Sunday in her first act as a Full Tilt Pro and will be representing her new sponsors for her first trip to the World Series of Poker in Las Vegas. This time Last year Obrestad was left kicking her heels as the best players in the world headed to Vegas for the WSOP and she was unable to compete as she was still under 21, a full two years after her WSOP Europe Main Event win.

Full Tilt Poker are known for collecting the best poker players like baseball cards, with Tom Dwan also recently joining the team. The acquisition of players like Obrestad and Dwan speaks highly of Full Tilt’s respect for the new generation of poker stars who have cut their teeth in online poker.

Other Full Tilt Pros include Phil Ivey, Chris Ferguson, Howard Lederer, Mike Matusow, Gus Hansen, Patrik Antonius, Jennifer Harman and Allen Cunningham to name but a few of the who’s who of poker.
