Annie Duke might not have attained her 1st World Series of Poker Bracelet until two thousand and four but Annie is still one of the most feared poker players around the ring games at The Bellagio in Sin City. Annie’s long-overdue World Series of Poker bracelet came with a win at the "forgotten game" of Omaha Hi-Lo.
While players from the "young crowd" of poker run wild after a huge success at the tables, Annie goes home to be "mom" to her four kids. She hails from New Hampshire and was raised into a family of poker players. If you don’t accept that, watch her sibling, Howard Lederer, when he plays, Howard taught Annie how-to compete in poker.
However, Annie Duke is not a small-potatoes girl and has captured her cut of difficult tables, including eliminating Howard a few times on several occasions.
Winning well over $3 million in tournament action, Annie became a advisor to both UltimateBet.com and actor Ben Affleck, who wanted to hone his skills and become a big player in poker.
You might notice Annie at the Bellagio, you will catch her on the television and you might just even play against her in a web poker match, but don’t expect a simple win. Unless you are a champion-in-the-making, you’ll not beat her. However, it would be cool to say you played at the same table as "The Duke".
