Annie Duke mightn’t have won her 1st World Series of Poker Bracelet until two thousand and four but Annie is one of the most powerful poker competitors around the ring games at The Bellagio in Vegas. Annie’s long-overdue World Series of Poker bracelet came with a win at the "forgotten game" of Omaha Hi-Lo.
While competitors from the "younger generation" of poker run amok following a big success at the tables, Annie goes home to be "mommy" to her four children. She hails from New Hampshire and was raised into a family of poker players. If you don’t believe that, check out her sibling, Howard Lederer, in action, who taught her the best method to compete in poker.
However, Annie Duke is not a small-potatoes girl and has earned her share of challenging matches, including knocking out Howard along the way on numerous occasions.
Earning well over $3 million in tournament action, Annie branched out to become a advisor to both UltimateBet and actor Ben Affleck, who aspired to sharpen his skills and become a big player at the poker table.
You might run into Annie at the Bellagio, you’ll catch her on the television and you might even play with her in a web-based poker match, but do not bank on an easy win. Unless you’re a rising star, you won’t beat her. although, it is likely to be cool to say you sat at the same table as "The Duke".
