Annie Duke mightn’t have earned her first WSOP Bracelet until two thousand and four but she is one of the most powerful poker competitors around the live action games at The Bellagio in vegas. Annie’s longawaited WSOP bracelet came with a win at the "buried game" of Omaha hi-low.
While competitors from the "younger crowd" of poker run wild following a large win at the tournament, Annie heads home to be "mom" to her 4 kids. Annie grew up in New Hampshire and raised into a family of poker players. If you do not accept that, check out her brother, Howard Lederer, in action who coached her how to compete in the game.
However, Annie Duke is no small-potatoes girl and has captured her cut of challenging tables, including eliminating Howard a few times along the way. They’re both competitors that have the capability to acquire the big cash and do so with a smile.
Mrs. Duke is a tough competitor at any poker table considering that she is a true poker player, but it is a little more than just being good at the game. Annie Duke is surprisingly smart and graduated from Columbia U where she took a double major in Psychology and English.
When you are seated across from her at the poker table you will see Annie is there to compete in the game and she begins "summing" you up from the time you sit down at the table. If you cannot wager like a camp, then do not waste your time.
Winning over $3 million in tournament competitions, Annie branched out to become a adviser to both UltimateBet.com and actor Ben Affleck, who wanted to enhance his talents and develop into a force at the tables.
You might just glimpse her at the Bellagio, you will notice her on the tv and you might even compete against her in a web poker game, but do not count on a simple win. Unless you’re a camp-in-the-making, you won’t beat her. However, it’d be fun to say you played at the at the table with "The Duke".
