Annie Duke mightn’t have attained 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 matches at The Bellagio in Vegas. Annie’s long-awaited WSOP bracelet came with a win at the "forgotten game" of Omaha Hi-Lo.
While competitors from the "younger generation" of poker run amok after a big win at the tables, Annie goes home to be "mum" to her 4 children. She was born in NH and grew up in a family of poker players. If you do not accept that, have a look at her brother, Howard Lederer, when he plays, who taught Annie the best method to compete in the game.
However, Annie Duke is not a small change girl and has captured her share of hard matches, which includes eliminating Howard a few times on numerous occasions.
Winning well over three million dollars in tournament action, Annie became a consultant to both UltimateBet.com and actor Ben Affleck, who wanted to sharpen his techniques and become a big player at the poker table.
You might just encounter her at the Bellagio, you’ll see her on television and you might just even compete with her in a net poker match, but do not expect an easy win. Unless you’re a champion-in-the-making, you’ll not defeat her. although, it would be cool to say you played at the same table as "The Duke".
