Betfair pro Annette Obrestad wins two Scandinavian Poker Awards and is Norway’s ‘Golden Hand’

Congratulations to Annette Obrestad who can’t stop winning both on and off the poker table. The 19 year old Betfair pro has picked up another three prestigious awards – the ‘Gullhånda’, or Golden Hand, which is the only poker prize awarded in her native Norway, plus two more at the Scandinavian Poker Awards in Copenhagen.

It caps a phenomenal twelve months for Annette who won the World Series of Poker Europe, presented by Betfair, back in September. Her £1million first prize (that’s a cool $1.95million) was the largest single cash win outside of Las Vegas.

That feat secured her the award for the Best Performance of the Year at the Scandies and also gave her the title of Best Female Player.
