18-year-old poker player wins gold WSOP bracelet

September 18, 2007

Annette Obrestad, the 19-year-old winner of the first annual World Series of Poker (WSOP) Europe tournament, walked away with a cash prize of £1 million and the WSOP 18-karat gold jewel-encrusted bracelet. The bracelet, created by Swiss watchmaker Corum, is considered to be the official timepiece of the tournament.

The no-limit Texas Hold 'Em tournament ended on Sunday at the Casino at the Empire in Leicester Square, London. Obrestad was the youngest person to win a WSOP event, and this tournament marked the first time the gold bracelet prize was available outside of the United States. A second annual WSOP Europe tournament is being scheduled for September 2008.
