One-Two for Betfair

Ivert is leading the European assualt on the Aussie Millions
Ivert is leading the European assualt on the Aussie Millions
Team Betfair has certainly brought out a strong contingent of European players for the 2009 Aussie Millions. Highlighting this fact is that the current first and second in the chip counts are both representing Betfair Poker.

In second place is well known online player Annette "Annette_15" Obrestad, who is currently sitting at around 400,000 in chips. Amongst Obrestad's accomplishments are the 2007 World Series of Poker Europe Main Event, as well as formerly being the number one ranked online poker player in the world. It is hard to believe, but Annette_15 is currently only twenty years old and has yet to make her U.S. tournament debut.

On the other hand, the player currently leading the tournament is a little known online player named Annica Ivert. Ivert hails from Sweden, but currently lives in Japan. Known as a fearless cash game player, Ivert regularly plays in some of the bigger cash games on Betfair. She made her live debut last year at the EPT Warsaw, and qualified through a satellite tournament on Betfair to make it here to the Aussie Millions.

Ivert has drawn the esteemed praise of fellow Team Betfair members John Tabatabi and Annette "Annette_15" Obrestad, who both shared their opening day one table with Ivert. Ivert has been mixing it well with Patrik Antonius today and if she gets some luck, she could be a lot more well known after the Aussie Millions.
