Annie Duke may not have captured her 1st WSOP Bracelet until two thousand and four but Annie remains one of the most powerful poker competitors around the ring matches at The Bellagio in Las Vegas. Annie’s long-overdue WSOP win came with success at the "forgotten game" of Omaha Hi-Lo.
While competitors from the "young crowd" of poker go crazy following a big success at the tables, Annie heads home to be "mommy" to her 4 kids. She hails from NH and was raised into a family of poker players. If you do not accept that, check out her sibling, Howard Lederer, in action, Howard taught Annie the correct way to play poker.
However, Annie Duke is not a small fry kind of girl and has captured her share of hard tables, including knocking out Howard along the way on numerous occasions.
Earning over three million dollars in tournament action, Annie became a consultant to both UltimateBet.com and actor Ben Affleck, who wanted to hone his abilities to become a power player at the poker table.
You might see her at the Bellagio, you will see her on television and you might just even play with her in a web-based poker match, but don’t bank on an easy win. Unless you’re a champion-in-the-making, you’ll not beat her. although, it is likely to be fun to say you sat at the same table as "The Duke".
