Annette_15 wins UltimateBet $100k GTD

All eyes were glued to UltimateBet last Sunday as one of the world’s top pros stormed through the online poker site’s new $100k Guaranteed Texas Hold’em tournament. 20-year-old poker prodigy Annette Obrestad, who is known online at UltimateBet as Annette_15, finished first in Sunday, December 7th’s $100,000 Guarantee, securing over $31,000 for her win.

“UltimateBet continues to be a top choice for the world’s best poker players,” stated Annie Duke, UltimateBet’s Cardroom Consultant. “And thanks to the new features, exciting tournaments and amazing benefits that arrived with CEREUS, UltimateBet has become an even more exciting place for poker fans to park their chips.”

Sunday’s 2pm ET $100,000 Guaranteed event, which was added to UltimateBet’s tournament schedule with the launch of CEREUS, is part of UltimateBet’s $500,000 Guaranteed Weekends. Other popular events include a $100,000 Guaranteed poker tournament every Saturday, UltimateBet’s signature $200,000 Texas Hold’em tournament every Sunday, and a $50,000 Guaranteed Sniper tournament on both Saturday and Sunday.

While only in its second week at UltimateBet, Sunday’s 2pm tournament once again surpassed the guarantee, awarding players more cash than what had been anticipated.

In 2007, Annette_15 captured the top prize of £1,000,000 for finishing first in the Main Event of the inaugural World Series of Poker Europe. In addition to frequenting the UltimateBet tables, members of the UB poker community may remember Annette_15 from the 2007 Aruba Poker Classic, UltimateBet’s signature land-based poker event.

UltimateBet remains a favorite poker room for some of the world’s best poker players including Phil Hellmuth, Mark “P0ker H0” Kroon, Tiffany Michelle, and countless others.
