Annie Duke may not have captured 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 Las Vegas. Annie’s long-overdue WSOP win came with a win at the "forgotten game" of Omaha Hi-Lo.
While players from the "young crowd" of poker go berserk following a big win at the tables, Annie heads home to be "mommy" to her four kids. She was born in NH and was raised into a family of card players. If you do not believe that, watch her sibling, Howard Lederer, in action, Howard taught Annie the best method to play the game.
However, Annie Duke is no small fry kind of girl and has captured her cut of difficult tables, which includes knocking out Howard along the way on numerous occasions.
Earning over 3 million dollars in tournament action, Annie became a advisor to both UltimateBet.com and Hollywood actor Ben Affleck, who wished to build up his techniques to become a force at the poker table.
You might encounter Annie at the Bellagio, you will see her on TV and you might even compete with her in a web poker match, but do not count on an easy win. Unless you are a champion-in-the-making, you won’t beat her. However, it would be fun to say you played at the same table as "The Duke".
