Mrs. Duke mightn’t have earned her first WSOP Bracelet until two thousand and four but she is still one of the most powerful poker competitors at the ring matches at The Bellagio in Las Vegas. Annie’s long-overdue WSOP bracelet came with a win at the "forgotten game" of Omaha hi/lo.
While players from the "younger crowd" of poker run crazy following a large win at the tournament, Annie heads home to be "mom" to her four kids. She was born in New Hampshire and raised into a family of poker players. If you do not believe that, check out her brother, Howard Lederer, in action who taught her how to play the game.
However, Mrs. Duke is no small fry kind of girl and has succeeded at her share of demanding tables, which includes knocking out Howard a few times along the way. They’re both competitors that have the skill to acquire the big cash and do it with a smile.
Annie Duke is a strong competitor at any poker table due to the fact that she is a natural poker player, but it’s a little more than simply being good at the game. Annie Duke is very smart and graduated from Columbia U where she majored in Psychology and English.
When you take a seat across from Annie at the table you’ll see she is there to play the game and she starts "sizing" you up as soon as you approach the game table. If you can’t wager like a Champion, then don’t bother.
Earning over three million dollars in tournament play, Annie branched out to become a adviser to both the UltimateBet website and actor Ben Affleck, who aspired to enhance his skills and grow into a power at the poker table.
You might just glimpse her at the Bellagio, you will see Annie on the television and you might even play against her in a web poker game, but don’t anticipate a simple win. Except of course you are a champion-in-the-making, you won’t defeat her. Although, it would be fun to say you played at the at the table with "The Duke".
