Las Vegas 2024 Super
Bowl Streaker!

Mrs. Duke may not have earned her 1st WSOP Bracelet until 2004 but she remains one of the most powerful poker players around the live action games at The Bellagio in Las Vegas. Annie’s longawaited World Series of Poker bracelet came with success at the "cast aside game" of Omaha hi lo.

While competitors from the "younger generation" of poker go crazy after a large win at the tournament, Annie heads home to be "mom" to her four kids. Annie grew up in New Hampshire and raised into a family of poker players. If you do not believe that, observe her brother, Howard Lederer, in action who taught her how to gamble on the game.

However, Mrs. Duke is no small fry kind of girl and has captured her share of difficult tables, including knocking out Howard a few times along the way. They’re both players that have the ability to acquire the huge bucks and do it with a grin.

Mrs. Duke is a tough player at any table because she is a true poker player, but it’s a bit more than just being good at the game. Annie is very intelligent and graduated from Columbia University where she took a double major in English and Psychology.

When you sit across from Annie at the table you know she is there to play the game and she begins "summing" you up as soon as you sit down at the table. If you cannot play like a Champion, then do not bother.

Earning over $3 million in tournament competitions, Annie branched out to become a consultant to both UltimateBet.com and actor Ben Affleck, who wanted to enhance his talents and develop into a power at the poker table.

You may see her at the Bellagio, you’ll definitely observe her on TV and you might even participate against her in a web-based poker game, but do not count on a simple win. Except of course you’re a champion-in-the-making, you won’t beat her. However, it would be exciting to say you sat at the same table as "The Duke".
