Annette Obrestad is telling the story of her £1 million win at the WSOP Europe main event, but can’t help dissolving into giggles. ‘People were scared to play with me in London, it was so funny,’ she says with an ingenuous laugh that makes her sound every bit her 19 years.

In person, the pint-sized Norwegian is so unassuming it’s easy to forget this is a woman with the poker world at her feet.

Obrestad is something special. Despite never depositing a cent into an online account, by the time she was just 18 she was dominating the online tournament scene and looking for new worlds to conquer.
