Annette Obrestad Wins Big at the Aussie Millions

[TomasJ]

The $1,100 PLO event saw a field of 160 players battle for the title. The first prize was $40,000 AUD and it was no other than Annette Obrestad who took it down.

Annette played impressively throughout the tournament, as she usually does, and came to the final table with one third of the chips. She took the chip lead by eliminating Tony Blom and did not look back for the rest of the night.

She went into heads-up play against Billy Seri but only three hands later the tournament was over. This was because at this point she had an 8 to 1 chip advantage and got the money in pre-flop with KJJ2 against Seri's KJ98, and her pair of Jacks got her the title.

This is her first major title and got her $40k AUD and her Aussie Millions Championship ring, she is now also officially the first woman to win an Aussie Millions event. We congratulate her on her victory and wish her even more usccess for the years to come.
