Eighteen Year Old Norwegian becomes poker millionaire

A Norwegian 18-year-old became the first woman to win the World Series of Poker over the weekend.

A teenager from a country where it is illegal to play live poker for money has become an overnight millionaire and broken a string of records by winning the main event at the World Series of Poker in London.

"It's possible mama and I will buy a house now," Obrestad said after winning at the event in London.

She was also the youngest to ever win a World Series of Poker. She also beat last year's winner, Jamie Gold.

Obrestad started playing five-card stud with her father and became a regular online at the age of 17.
