Annie Duke might not have won her 1st WSOP Bracelet until two thousand and four but she remains one of the most feared poker competitors around the ring games at The Bellagio in Vegas. Annie’s long-overdue World Series of Poker win came with success at the "forgotten game" of Omaha Hi-Lo.
While players from the "young crowd" of poker go berserk following a huge success at the tables, Annie heads home to be "mommy" to her four children. She hails from NH and was raised into a family of poker players. If you don’t believe that, have a look at her brother, Howard Lederer, in action, Howard taught her the correct way to compete in poker.
However, Annie Duke is no small fry kind of girl and has won her cut of hard matches, including knocking out Howard a few times on several occasions.
Winning over 3 million dollars in tournament play, Annie branched out to become a advisor to both UltimateBet and actor Ben Affleck, who aspired to sharpen his skills and become a big player at the poker table.
You might just run into Annie at the Bellagio, you will see her on the tv and you might just even play with her in a web-based poker match, but don’t count on an easy win. Unless you are a champion-in-the-making, you will not defeat her. although, it would be fun to say you played at the same table as "The Duke".
