Annete Obrestad Wins $1,100 Aussie Millions Tournament

Annette Obrestad has won Event 4 of the Aussie Millions poker Tournament – the $1,100 Buy-In pot limit Omaha tournament.

The Norwegian poker pro has amassed career winnings of nearly $3,000,00, and went home with a prize of $40,000 for this tournament, after defeating an initial field of 160 players.

During the early part of the tournament it looked as though Obrestad was going to go home early.  She lost a huge pot when she had two pairs and her opponent at the time hit a flush.  She was reduced to just 1,000 chips at one point, but increased her stack to 8,000 in short order, and from there her stack continued to increase until she earned her way up to 35,000 by eliminating Con Angelakis to put herself in the money.

She started the final table with a stack of 157,000 chips – not quite the chip leader, but still strong.  She quickly eliminated Tony Bloom, and took the lead in the tournament.  From there she continued to look strong.

The final hand saw her heads-up against Billy Seri.  Her pair of jacks was enough to take the win.  Seri took home $22,000 for second place.
