In July 2007, Obrestad won a $4 buy-in 180 person online sit-and-go where she claims to have played almost the entire tournament without looking at her cards. She has said she peeked at her cards once during the tournament, when she was faced with an all-in bet. She did this to show "just how important it is to play position and to pay attention to the players at the table."[3] On 2 March 2008 she won first place and $20,000 in the Stars Sunday Hundred Grand, a tournament with a buy-in of only $11 but with a field of 20,000 players.[4]
World Series of Poker Europe
On 17 September 2007, Obrestad won the inaugural World Series of Poker Europe Main Event the day before her 19th birthday.[5] By winning the one million-pound sterling (US$2.01 million at the time of the event) first prize she edged the record for a single-event payout to a female player set previously by poker professional Annie Duke when she won $2 million at the 2004 Tournament of Champions, which was an invitational event. Prior to the 2007 WSOPE, Obrestad had only cashed in four other live poker tournaments.[6] Obrestad currently holds fifth place among Norwegian poker players in the all-time money list in live tournaments.[7]
European Poker Tour
Obrestad came close to winning her second major live title in November 2007, finishing in second place earning €297,800 ($431,184) at the 2007 PokerStars.com European Poker Tour Dublin event to Reuben Peters, after holding the chip lead throughout most of the final table.[8]
As of 2020[update]Script error: No such module "Check for unknown parameters"., her total live tournament winnings exceeded $3.9 million.[6][9]
