Annie Duke might not have came away with her first WSOP Bracelet until 2004 but she is still one of the most powerful poker competitors around the ring matches at The Bellagio in Vegas. Annie’s long-awaited WSOP bracelet came with success at the "forgotten game" of Omaha Hi-Lo.
While players from the "younger generation" of poker run wild after a huge success at the tables, Annie goes home to be "mom" to her 4 kids. She hails from New Hampshire and was raised into a family of card players. If you do not believe that, check out her brother, Howard Lederer, in action, who taught her how to play the game.
However, Annie Duke is not a small fry kind of girl and has earned her cut of hard matches, including eliminating Howard a few times on several occasions.
Earning over three million dollars in tournament play, Annie branched out to become a advisor to both UltimateBet.com and Hollywood actor Ben Affleck, who aspired to build up his skills to become a power player at the poker table.
You might just run into her at the Bellagio, you will catch her on the tv and you might just even play against her in an online poker game, but do not expect a simple win. Unless you’re a rising star, you will not beat her. although, it would be cool to say you sat at the same table as "The Duke".
