Annie Duke might not have won her first WSOP Bracelet until two thousand and four but Annie remains one of the most powerful poker competitors around the ring games at The Bellagio in Las Vegas. Annie’s long-overdue WSOP bracelet came with a win at the "forgotten game" of Omaha Hi-Lo.
While players from the "younger generation" of poker run wild following a big win at the tables, Annie goes home to be "mommy" to her 4 children. She hails from New Hampshire and was raised into a family of poker players. If you do not accept that, have a look at her sibling, Howard Lederer, when he plays, Howard taught her how-to play the game.
However, Annie Duke is no small change girl and has captured her cut of challenging matches, which includes eliminating Howard a few times on several occasions.
Winning over 3 million dollars in tournament play, Annie became a advisor to both UltimateBet.com and Hollywood actor Ben Affleck, who aspired to build up his techniques and become a big player in poker.
You might just run into her at the Bellagio, you will see her on TV and you may even compete with her in an internet poker match, but don’t count on an easy win. Unless you are a rising star, you won’t defeat her. However, it is likely to be cool to say you sat at the same table as "The Duke".
