Annie Duke might not have captured her 1st World Series of Poker Bracelet until two thousand and four but Annie is still one of the most powerful poker competitors around the ring games at The Bellagio in Sin City. Annie’s long-awaited World Series of Poker bracelet came with a win at the "forgotten game" of Omaha Hi-Lo.
While players from the "younger generation" of poker go crazy after a big success at the tables, Annie heads home to be "mum" to her 4 kids. She hails from NH and grew up in a family of card players. If you don’t believe that, observe her sibling, Howard Lederer, when he plays, who taught Annie the best method to compete in poker.
However, Annie Duke is not a small change girl and has won her share of challenging tables, which includes eliminating Howard along the way on numerous occasions.
Winning well over 3 million dollars in tournament play, Annie branched out to become a advisor to both UltimateBet.com and actor Ben Affleck, who wanted to develop his techniques to become a big player in poker.
You might encounter Annie at the Bellagio, you’ll catch her on the tv and you may even play with her in an internet poker game, but do not expect a simple win. Unless you are a champion-in-the-making, you will not beat her. However, it is likely to be fun to say you sat at the same table as "The Duke".
