Annie Duke mightn't have came away with her 1st World Series of Poker Bracelet until two thousand and four but Annie remains one of the most feared poker competitors around the ring matches at The Bellagio in Las Vegas. Annie's long-overdue WSOP win came with a win at the "forgotten game" of Omaha Hi-Lo.

While players from the "young crowd" of poker run amok after a huge win at the tables, Annie heads home to be "mom" to her 4 kids. She was born in New Hampshire and grew up in a family of poker players. If you don't accept that, observe her sibling, Howard Lederer, when he plays, Howard taught her the best method to compete in the game.

However, Annie Duke is not a small fry kind of girl and has earned her share of difficult games, which includes eliminating Howard a few times on numerous occasions.

Winning over 3 million dollars in tournament play, Annie became a advisor to both UltimateBet and Hollywood actor Ben Affleck, who wanted to build up his abilities to become a power player at the poker table.

You may catch Annie at the Bellagio, you will see her on TV and you might just even play against her in an internet poker match, but do not bank on a simple win. Unless you're a champion-in-the-making, you won't beat her. However, it would be fun to say you sat at the same table as "The Duke".
