Annie Duke may not have came away with her first World Series of Poker Bracelet until two thousand and four but she is one of the most powerful poker players around the ring games at The Bellagio in Vegas. Annie’s long-awaited World Series of Poker bracelet came with success at the "forgotten game" of Omaha Hi-Lo.
While players from the "younger generation" of poker run amok following a big success at the tables, Annie heads home to be "mom" to her four kids. She hails from NH and grew up in a family of card players. If you don’t accept that, have a look at her sibling, Howard Lederer, when he plays, Howard taught Annie how to compete in poker.
However, Annie Duke is no small fry kind of girl and has won her cut of challenging tables, including eliminating Howard along the way on several occasions.
Winning well over three million dollars in tournament play, Annie became a advisor to both UltimateBet and Hollywood actor Ben Affleck, who aspired to hone his abilities to become a power player at the poker table.
You might observe Annie at the Bellagio, you will catch her on the television and you might even play with her in a web-based poker game, but do not count on an easy win. Unless you’re a rising star, you’ll not defeat her. although, it is likely to be fun to say you sat at the same table as "The Duke".
