Annie Duke mightn’t have attained her first World Series of Poker Bracelet until two thousand and four but Annie is still one of the most feared poker competitors around the ring matches at The Bellagio in Las Vegas. Annie’s long-awaited WSOP win came with success at the "forgotten game" of Omaha Hi-Lo.
While competitors from the "younger generation" of poker go berserk following a huge success at the tables, Annie goes home to be "mom" to her 4 kids. She was born in NH and was raised into a family of poker players. If you do not believe that, have a look at her sibling, Howard Lederer, when he plays, who taught her the correct way to compete in poker.
However, Annie Duke is no small change girl and has captured her share of challenging tables, which includes knocking out Howard a few times on numerous occasions.
Winning over three million dollars in tournament play, Annie branched out to become a consultant to both UltimateBet and Hollywood actor Ben Affleck, who wished to hone his techniques to become a big player at the poker table.
You might just notice her at the Bellagio, you’ll see her on the television and you might even play with her in a web poker game, but don’t expect a simple win. Unless you are a rising star, you will not beat her. although, it would be fun to say you played at the same table as "The Duke".
