Thursday, Sep 11, 2008 Doyle Brunson fears Annette Obrestad

"The Godfather of Poker" and the youngest WSOP winner ever are set to clash in a promotional heads-up match at the World Series of Poker Europe in London.

Brunson writes about the upcoming battle with Obrestad in his blog:

"I know that she is a good player, but it will be embarrassing to lose to an 18 year old girl."

"But if I do, I won't have any excuse because I have almost completely recovered from the trip to Asia."

The WSOPE will be played at the Casino at the Empire from Sept. 19 to Oct. 2. There will be four events in total, including the £10,000 Main Event, which Obrestad won last year. If you want to play in the series, you can find lots of satellites on the sponsor site Betfair Poker.
