Annie Duke mightn’t 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 matches at The Bellagio in Sin City. Annie’s long-awaited WSOP bracelet came with success at the "forgotten game" of Omaha Hi-Lo.

While players from the "younger generation" of poker run amok after a huge success at the tables, Annie goes home to be "mommy" to her 4 kids. She hails from New Hampshire and was raised into a family of card players. If you don’t believe that, have a look at her brother, Howard Lederer, when he plays, Howard taught her how to compete in poker.

However, Annie Duke is no small fry kind of girl and has won her cut of challenging games, which includes eliminating Howard along the way on several occasions.

Earning over $3 million in tournament action, Annie branched out to become a consultant to both UltimateBet and Hollywood actor Ben Affleck, who wished to develop his skills and become a big player in poker.

You might encounter Annie at the Bellagio, you will catch her on the television and you might just even compete with her in an internet poker game, but do not count on an easy win. Unless you are a champion-in-the-making, you’ll not defeat her. although, it is likely to be cool to say you sat at the same table as "The Duke".
