Annie Duke may not have captured her first WSOP Bracelet until two thousand and four but she is one of the most powerful poker players around the ring games at The Bellagio in Las Vegas. Annie’s long-overdue WSOP bracelet came with success at the "forgotten game" of Omaha Hi-Lo.
While competitors from the "young crowd" of poker run wild following a big success at the tables, Annie heads home to be "mom" to her 4 children. She hails from NH and grew up in a family of card players. If you do not believe that, watch her sibling, Howard Lederer, when he plays, who taught her the correct way to play the game.
However, Annie Duke is no small fry kind of girl and has won her share of hard games, which includes eliminating Howard along the way on numerous occasions.
Winning well over 3 million dollars in tournament play, Annie became a consultant to both UltimateBet.com and actor Ben Affleck, who wished to sharpen his abilities and become a power player in poker.
You might just glimpse her at the Bellagio, you will see her on television and you might just even compete against her in an internet poker game, but don’t expect an easy win. Unless you are a up and coming master, you’ll not defeat her. although, it would be fun to say you played at the same table as "The Duke".
