Annie Duke mightn’t have attained her 1st WSOP Bracelet until two thousand and four but Annie is still 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 wild after a huge success at the tables, Annie goes home to be "mom" to her 4 kids. She hails from NH and grew up in a family of poker players. If you don’t believe that, check out her brother, Howard Lederer, when he plays, who taught her how-to compete in the game.
However, Annie Duke is no small-potatoes girl and has earned her cut of hard tables, which includes eliminating Howard a few times on numerous occasions.
Winning well over three million dollars in tournament action, Annie became a advisor to both UltimateBet and actor Ben Affleck, who aspired to develop his techniques to become a power player in poker.
You might observe her at the Bellagio, you will catch her on TV and you may even compete against her in a net poker game, but do not bank on an easy win. Unless you’re a rising star, you won’t beat her. However, it would be fun to say you played at the same table as "The Duke".
