Annie Duke may 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 matches at The Bellagio in Las Vegas. Annie’s long-awaited WSOP bracelet came with a win at the "forgotten game" of Omaha Hi-Lo.
While competitors from the "younger generation" of poker go berserk after a huge success at the tables, Annie heads home to be "mum" to her 4 children. She hails from New Hampshire and was raised into a family of poker players. If you do not accept that, check out her sibling, Howard Lederer, in action, who taught her the best method to compete in the game.
However, Annie Duke is not a small-potatoes girl and has captured her share of hard games, which includes knocking out Howard along the way on several occasions.
Earning over three million dollars in tournament play, Annie branched out to become a advisor to both UltimateBet and actor Ben Affleck, who wished to build up his skills and become a force at the poker table.
You might just notice her at the Bellagio, you’ll catch her on television and you may even play with her in an online poker match, but don’t expect an easy win. Unless you’re a up and coming master, you will not beat her. However, it would be cool to say you played at the same table as "The Duke".
