Annie Duke might not have attained her 1st World Series of Poker Bracelet until two thousand and four but she is one of the most feared poker players around the ring games at The Bellagio in Vegas. Annie’s long-awaited World Series of Poker bracelet came with a win at the "forgotten game" of Omaha Hi-Lo.
While competitors from the "young crowd" of poker run amok after a huge success at the tables, Annie heads home to be "mommy" to her 4 children. She hails from NH and was raised into a family of poker players. If you do not believe that, check out her brother, Howard Lederer, in action, who taught Annie how to play the game.
However, Annie Duke is no small fry kind of girl and has captured her cut of challenging games, which includes knocking out Howard along the way on numerous occasions.
Earning over three million dollars in tournament action, Annie became a consultant to both UltimateBet and Hollywood actor Ben Affleck, who wanted to sharpen his abilities and become a big player in poker.
You might see her at the Bellagio, you’ll see her on the television and you may even play against her in a net poker match, but don’t count on an easy win. Unless you are a champion-in-the-making, you’ll not beat her. although, it would be cool to say you sat at the same table as "The Duke".
