Hopefully this will be the end of the "pretty but clueless" group of female players like Isabelle Mercier, Erica Schoneburg (or whaterver her name is) and Evelyn Ng, who poker magazines and websites seem to think we'll be interested in.
Well, she aint pretty, that's for sure. I'd much rather see Evelyn Ng on the cover of a magazine than her

WSOPE, Event 3 - £10,000 NLHE, Final Table: Annette Obrestad Makes History
September 17, 2007
John 'Falstaff' Hartness
Norway's Annette 'Annette_15' Obrestad became both the youngest person to ever win a World Series bracelet and the first woman to ever win a WSOP Main Event title when she finished atop a field of 362 entrants in the first-ever World Series of Poker Europe £10,000 Main Event tournament. In winning the WSOP Europe bracelet, Obrestad not only won the largest buy-in Main Event in WSOP history, she also bested a field larger than all pre-1999 Main Event fields. The 19-year-old Norwegian truly earned the right to call herself a World Champion when she came out on top of a grueling final table that lasted even longer than the 2007 Main Event final table in Las Vegas.
Obrestad started the day in the middle ofthe pack, with starting chip stacks for the finalists as follows:
Seat 1: Johannes Korsar - 1,134,000
Seat 2: Oyvind Riisem - 664,000

I'd be pissed if I was Bilirakis (I think that's the guy who was 21 and 11 days this year and won)
WSOP: Europe is like having The Olympics: Japan

Annette was a well deserved winner. There was a lot of talk about her history of online success and she really showed what a player she was yesterday.
John played good too, from the get-go of the final table you could really see it was going to be one of those two who would take it down.
Congrats to Annette on being the first woman to win a $1m+ WSOP prize, and of course the youngest person ever to win a WSOP bracelet.

I thought i might get this wrong (i couldnt really see the flop), but i was too lazy to check. lol
Heres what really happened.
Daniel Negreanu Eliminated
Over at the featured TV table, Daniel Negreanu was fighting for his tournament life with a short stack. He lost most of his chips when Janne Lamsa caught a flush against him. Kid Poker hoped that he could get some of them back when he tangled with Lamsa in another hand.
Lamsa opened for a 10,000 raise. Negreanu moved all in for 37,300.
"Poker gets easy when you're short stacked," said Negreanu. "I don't care either way what you do."
After a minute of thinking, Lamsa called.
Negreanu:

Daniel Negreanu has just took a huge beat and is eliminated. He pushed with AQ and was called by KQ, i think the flop was 234, turn 5. So, a 6 would split and only the king would win it for his opponent.
YEP, the river was a King!

I missed one point..How Many Entrants?? And The Buy-In?
10,000 BritishPound?
~Thanks Again~
36 Pay-Outs ITM
Entrants = 362 (a little on the low side i thought)
Buy In = £10,000 ($20,000) could well be the reason why
Place 1st = £1,000,000 ($2,000,000)
36th = £27,150 ($54,300)

To clear things up
Here are the tables and chip counts for Day 3.
The field from both day 2's will combine today and all 84 players will return for the start of Day 3 at 2pm. It should be an interesting day, with the 2 chip leaders Gus Hansen and Patrik Antonius set to clash, after being randomly drawn on the same table.
36 players will make the money, but only one player can be crowned Champion and take home the £1,000,000 first prize.
Play will continue throughout the day, until at least 36 players remain and the money is reached. It will be reassessed towards the end of the day, and possibly play deeper into the money depending on the time. Players who survive today will come back on Saturday for Day 4, where the final table will be reached.
The table and seat allocation is as follows:
John Ridge 57000 1.0 1
Stephen Rynne 45900 1 2
Matthew Kay 38200 1 3
Martin Vallo 36800 1 4
Pat Scanlon 240000 1 5
Ovyind Riisem 116500 1 6<... | | Read Entire Entry |

You have to remember though, this is a ery pro-heavy field. Look at the top 300 from the Main Event in Vegas this year, and you won't recognise anywhere near as many names.
