Annette Obrestad - WSOPE champion

Fair play to her.
But I'm reading her wikipedia page and it states the following:
"In July 2007, as part of a publicity stunt, Annette participated in a 180 person online sit-and-go. She played the entire tournament without ever looking at her cards and won. She did so to show, "just how important it is to play position and to pay attention to the players at the table"

Is that even possible? That's absolutely extraordinary. A 10 or 20 person sit and go maybe, but 180? That's just crazy.

Don't know how anyone does so well consistently. Last MTT I played went out early, Flop was 10-7-3. I have 7-7. Guy bets. I flat call. Another ten on turn.He bets big and I put him on A-10. I move all in. 3 on river to give him bigger full house. And that happens to me most time I enter.
How these guys avoid those situations baffles me.

They don't, even the best MTT playes in the world cash <25% of the time. For example allinstevie is currently running at 19%
