Annie Duke may not have came away with her first WSOP Bracelet until two thousand and four but she is still one of the most powerful poker competitors around the ring matches at The Bellagio in Sin City. Annie’s long-overdue WSOP win came with success at the "forgotten game" of Omaha Hi-Lo.
While players from the "younger generation" of poker run wild following a big success at the tables, Annie goes home to be "mum" to her 4 children. She hails from New Hampshire and grew up in a family of poker players. If you do not accept that, observe her brother, Howard Lederer, when he plays, who taught her how to play poker.
However, Annie Duke is not a small fry kind of girl and has earned her cut of difficult matches, including knocking out Howard a few times on several occasions.
Winning well over $3 million in tournament play, Annie became a consultant to both UltimateBet and Hollywood actor Ben Affleck, who wished to sharpen his techniques and become a force at the poker table.
You might see Annie at the Bellagio, you’ll see her on the television and you might just even play against her in an internet poker game, but don’t bank on a simple win. Unless you are a up and coming master, you will not defeat her. although, it is likely to be cool to say you sat at the same table as "The Duke".
