Annie Duke may not have captured her first World Series of Poker Bracelet until 2004 but she is one of the most powerful poker players around the ring matches at The Bellagio in Sin City. Annie’s long-overdue World Series of Poker bracelet came with success at the "forgotten game" of Omaha Hi-Lo.
While competitors from the "younger generation" of poker run wild after a huge win at the tables, Annie heads home to be "mommy" to her 4 kids. She hails from NH and grew up in a family of card players. If you do not believe that, have a look at her brother, Howard Lederer, when he plays, Howard taught her the best method to compete in poker.
However, Annie Duke is no small-potatoes girl and has earned her share of challenging tables, including eliminating Howard a few times on several occasions.
Earning well over 3 million dollars in tournament play, Annie branched out to become a advisor to both UltimateBet.com and actor Ben Affleck, who wished to develop his abilities and become a force at the poker table.
You might encounter Annie at the Bellagio, you’ll catch her on TV and you may even compete with her in an online poker game, but do not count 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".
