What do you think about Annette Obrestad's story?

[horderphelps]

Played with her before she won her tournaments. She is a top competitive scrabble player now [#86 NASPA], a very nice, sweet person, but smart and ruthless at the table. From what I hear she left due to the haters and trolls, she was very young then, but I hope she considers coming back.

I think her style of play was brilliant. The way she could switch up her style of play so smoothly seemed to keep her opponents always guessing. I wish I could watch her in scrabble tournaments. 😊. Good luck to her from 🇺🇸 no matter her endeavors ♥️

Knowing Annette as an indie makeup youtuber (Annette's Makeup Corner), finding out she was an incredible pro poker player is wild.

The last card of the tournament being the queen of hearts is so poetic

She is from my home town in Norway. Never met her, but my old house mate, who was semi-pro and taught me poker, always bragged about having played against this up and coming prodigy from my home town

For all the people calling her amateur.. please, you have no idea who she is. Look back at her online story. One of the most feared players of all time. I watched her almost every day. Final tables were given. Winning was easy.

Tabatabai’s small monologue about not being able to fold at 17:03 felt like such a movie moment lmao. Ppl might hate she won with her style but that’s poker she was playing the players most of the night

[christiannusser]

Love it that this young amazing woman won against all these men that underestimated her. For me a pro mindset means to never underestimate any opponent, to never take any victory for granted and to always stay humbled.

[ramyhuber]

Thanks much, I haven't paid attention to poker for many years. It was great to see her play so well and win. Sounds like her life has moved on, and the money she won back then gave her the freedom to live her life how she wants to, bravo.

[ryandaley]

She's a great player. No fear and rather unpredictable. She got lucky a couple times, but to win a tournament like this, that is almost always a prerequisite.

At 17:13 Tabatabai says out loud what her hand was. "I'm guessing you have Queen, Jack." Amazing that he could guess that. I don't even play poker but this is a fascinating video to watch.

[walterrutherford]

I’ve seldom seen her play, but she’s scary. Saw a game where she humiliated Hellmuth, who kept assuming she was bluffing when she wasn’t.

[patrickmaline]

annette saying “i’m all in” is like being chased by the terminator. it’s like peter griffin saying ow after skinning his knee. 😂 it’s funny because it’s happening to someone else.

[Jimijames-rj]

Nerves of steel, well done young lady, well played 💪

[Militant]

Absolutely love that aggressive play, brilliant and ballsy. She got lucky a few times, but got to admire that gutsy aggressive style.

[EricVRelph-rehd]

That was awesome. Her poker face was awesome. Annette's brain and strategy was magnificent. Aggression was perfect. Her smile and play was wonderful. Great job Miss.

[kevygg]

What an absolute masterclass from a smart young woman. I am impressed with her decision making and composure in such a high stakes situation at such a young age. This was legendary

[bentjohnsen]

AS A NORWEGIAN,
I AM REAL
PROUD FOR HER
AND OUR NATION!
😊😊😊

[joeverna]

I'm clueless how to play this game, but it is exciting to watch.
