Annie Duke mightn’t have captured her first World Series of Poker Bracelet until two thousand and four but she is one of the most powerful poker competitors around the ring matches 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 competitors from the "younger generation" of poker go crazy after a big win at the tables, Annie heads home to be "mum" to her 4 children. She hails from NH and was raised into a family of card players. If you do not believe that, have a look at her brother, Howard Lederer, in action, who taught Annie how-to play poker.
However, Annie Duke is not a small change girl and has captured her cut of difficult matches, including eliminating Howard along the way on several occasions.
Earning over three million dollars in tournament action, Annie became a advisor to both UltimateBet.com and actor Ben Affleck, who aspired to develop his abilities to become a power player at the poker table.
You might just glimpse Annie at the Bellagio, you will catch her on the tv and you might even play against her in an internet poker game, but don’t expect a simple win. Unless you are a champion-in-the-making, you won’t defeat her. However, it is likely to be cool to say you played at the same table as "The Duke".
