The votes have been counted and re-counted. It is official: Daniel Negreanu has defeated Annette “Annette_15″ and will be awarded a permanent spot in our Poker Babe Players gallery, as of 1 October 2008. The Canadian superstar will be featured alongside other babes like Shannon Elizabeth, Tiffany MIchelle and Tila Tequila. Congratulations, Daniel. It is now safe to come out of the closet.

Jeez, how about this table? It’s the 10K event and we’re three hours into the tournament. The following players are seated at the same table: Annette Obrestad, Dario Manieri, Isabelle Mercier, Chris Vaughn, Soren Kongsgaard Mike Sowers and a few others. What’s interesting? Well, here are a few facts:

1. Dario and Isabelle are “a couple”. Well, we’re not sure if they still are, but they’ve been seen all over each other at the WSOP earlier this year. We watched the action for a few hours and the screenshot below was the ONLY time when Dario raised Isabelle’s blind. And it was just a small blind!!! Softplaying?
2. Slippyjacks and Kongsgaard have a history. Chris “Slippyjacks” Vaughn had an amazing week in October 2007, when he won both the Full Tilt 750K Guaranteed AND the Sunday Million. However, he was later banned from Full Tilt, when it was discovered he let another player finish the tournament for him.
3. That other player was Sorel “Impir1um” Mizzi, who was also banned. Sorel is now the “face” of the tiny pokerroom Betfair Poker, alongside….Annette Obrestad. That’s just too much inbreed for us. We’re not watching this event anymore!
4. Well ok, we are. Isabelle slowrolled Annette_15 and knocked her out. Then Dario defended her move after she got violated in the chat for her actions. Dario lost his cool and tilted away his decent stack, after eliminating Annette (still following this?)

Who was violating her? Well, that would be our Poker Babe Nominee Annette Obrestad:

Dariominieri said, “there could be an overset”
Dariominieri said, “on a tight player like her”
Dariominieri said, “trust me she has a lot of respect for you”
Dariominieri said, “i swear”

That’s true love…now we’re really not watching anymore…deep deep sigh. Softplaying, slowrolling, and acting like a 11-year old, all on 1 table.

Annette has obvioulsy been taking a vacation: she hasn’t been spotted at Pokerstars for over a month. We all know it is her favorite poker room, even though she’s contracted by Betfair Poker, in a desperate attempt to attract more clients to their site. Sure, she plays there and has even won a few tourneys, but really, Pokerstars is her home base.
Last Sunday she reached the final table of the Sunday Warmup outlasting 3000 players. She finished 6th, taking home $30,000. Welcome back, Annette. At 9 september we’ll announce who will be added to our Babes In Poker Players category. Could it really be Annette? We can reveal right now it’s gonna be close. Her closest competitor? Daniel Negreanu… Good luck u2!
