This is truly one of the most monumental accomplishments in tournament poker's history. It seems that we are able to find something unique and noteworthy in almost every big buy-in tournament win. Whether the win comes from an online player, a poker legend, a beginner, etc., there is always a story to go with it. None of those stories are half as interesting or iconic as this win.
An 18 year old, female, predominantly online player takes down the first ever WSOPE Main Event. Annette is both the youngest person ever to win a bracelet and the only woman to ever win a WSOP ME. Oh yeah, she also won two million dollars.
Congrats Annette. I can hardly imagine how much more success you have ahead of you. We are all incredibly lucky to have you as a part of these forums. -

Do these bracelets count toward the normal American WSOP bracelsts. If so GG Phil Hellmuth and your 11 bracelts. Grant it you will probably win 5 more since u are in your early 40's but Annette is only 18. Hell i have underwear older than annette. Anyways I believe she will win aobut 25 in the next 10 yrs

unstoppable, bracelet 1 of many, watch out Phil...
congrats again, you truely pwned that FT, online style -
Her bracelet, 2 million dollar win and her signing with Betfair.com prior to her win is just amazing and one day before her 19th b-day. Nice b-day present Annette!!
Betfair has gotta be smiling even more now with her being the youngest ME world champion ever. People are going to join that site to take a shot at beating the youngest ME world champion. -
SO SICK! Good job.

Congrats Anette. There goes Phil's record for youngest main event winner. My hopes of becoming that in 2009 dashed :)

Hey M? Which one were you? the blonde or the brunette after she won?
Great for her having a friend (or 1000) there with her. -

I was the one who did commentary w/ Kirk & Nick ffs. How could u miss me? AT the end, I was the one who hopped the rail and said "Hi mom" on camera.
