Annie Duke might not have won her 1st World Series of Poker Bracelet until 2004 but she is still one of the most feared poker players around the ring matches at The Bellagio in Vegas. Annie’s long-overdue WSOP bracelet came with success at the "forgotten game" of Omaha Hi-Lo.
While competitors from the "young crowd" of poker go berserk following a big success at the tables, Annie heads home to be "mum" to her 4 kids. She was born in NH and was raised into a family of card players. If you don’t believe that, observe her sibling, Howard Lederer, in action, Howard taught Annie how-to compete in the game.
However, Annie Duke is no small-potatoes girl and has won her cut of difficult games, which includes knocking out Howard along the way on several occasions.
Earning over 3 million dollars in tournament action, Annie became a advisor to both UltimateBet and Hollywood actor Ben Affleck, who wished to build up his abilities to become a force in poker.
You might just notice Annie at the Bellagio, you’ll catch her on the tv and you might even play with her in a web-based poker game, but do not count on an easy win. Unless you are a champion-in-the-making, you’ll not beat her. although, it is likely to be cool to say you sat at the same table as "The Duke".
