I get older, they stay the same age

News broke that Annette Obrestad of Norway won the Main Event at the WSOP-Europe.

She plays as Annette_15 on PokerStars (where the WCOOP is breaking records, with a $3M tournament this afternoon and a $5M tourney will happen in a couple days).


She will turn 19 this week, so she cannot play yet in the U.S. legally. But she is slightly more than two million dollars richer, even if she seems to be about 12 years old, so I'm sure that'll help a bit.

It is funny that the winning hand in the picture was the hammer.

When I was turning 19, I was finishing up a crappy freshman year of college and got hit by a taxi. She is definitely having a better year.
