Annie Duke may not have won her 1st World Series of Poker Bracelet until 2004 but she remains one of the most powerful poker players around the ring matches at The Bellagio in Vegas. Annie’s long-overdue World Series of Poker win came with a win at the "forgotten game" of Omaha Hi-Lo.
While players from the "young crowd" of poker run amok after a big success at the tables, Annie goes home to be "mum" to her four kids. She hails from NH and was raised into a family of poker players. If you don’t accept that, check out her sibling, Howard Lederer, when he plays, who taught her the correct way to play poker.
However, Annie Duke is no small change girl and has won her cut of challenging matches, including knocking out Howard along the way on several occasions.
Earning well over 3 million dollars in tournament play, Annie branched out to become a advisor to both UltimateBet and actor Ben Affleck, who wished to hone his techniques and become a power player in poker.
You might just catch Annie at the Bellagio, you will see her on TV and you might just even play with her in a web poker match, but don’t expect a simple win. Unless you are a champion-in-the-making, you’ll not defeat her. However, it is likely to be cool to say you sat at the same table as "The Duke".
