Annie Duke mightn’t have won her first WSOP Bracelet until two thousand and four but Annie is still one of the most powerful poker players around the ring matches at The Bellagio in Vegas. Annie’s long-overdue WSOP bracelet came with success at the "forgotten game" of Omaha Hi-Lo.
While players from the "young crowd" of poker run amok following a big success at the tables, Annie heads home to be "mum" to her four kids. She was born in NH and grew up in a family of poker players. If you don’t accept that, observe her brother, Howard Lederer, when he plays, who taught her how to compete in the game.
However, Annie Duke is not a small-potatoes girl and has captured her share of challenging matches, including eliminating Howard a few times on numerous occasions.
Earning over three million dollars in tournament action, Annie branched out to become a consultant to both UltimateBet.com and Hollywood actor Ben Affleck, who aspired to sharpen his skills to become a force at the poker table.
You might just run into her at the Bellagio, you will catch her on TV and you might just even compete with her in an internet poker game, but do not bank on a simple win. Unless you’re a up and coming master, you’ll not defeat her. although, it is likely to be fun to say you sat at the same table as "The Duke".
