Annie Duke mightn’t have captured her 1st WSOP Bracelet until 2004 but she remains one of the most feared poker players around the ring matches at The Bellagio in Vegas. Annie’s long-awaited WSOP bracelet came with success at the "forgotten game" of Omaha Hi-Lo.
While competitors from the "young crowd" of poker go crazy after a big success at the tables, Annie heads home to be "mommy" to her 4 children. She was born in New Hampshire and grew up in a family of card players. If you do not accept that, have a look at her sibling, Howard Lederer, when he plays, Howard taught Annie the best method to compete in poker.
However, Annie Duke is no small change girl and has won her cut of challenging games, which includes eliminating Howard a few times on numerous occasions.
Winning over three million dollars in tournament action, Annie became a advisor to both UltimateBet and actor Ben Affleck, who wanted to build up his skills to become a big player at the poker table.
You might encounter her at the Bellagio, you’ll see her on the tv and you might even compete with her in a web-based poker match, but don’t bank on an easy win. Unless you are a rising star, you won’t beat her. although, it would be cool to say you played at the same table as "The Duke".
