Annie Duke may not have attained her first WSOP Bracelet until 2004 but she is one of the most feared poker competitors around the ring games at The Bellagio in Sin City. Annie’s long-overdue WSOP bracelet came with success at the "forgotten game" of Omaha Hi-Lo.

While competitors from the "younger generation" of poker go berserk following a huge success at the tables, Annie heads home to be "mom" to her four children. She was born in New Hampshire and was raised into a family of card players. If you do not believe that, have a look at her sibling, Howard Lederer, when he plays, who taught Annie how to play the game.

However, Annie Duke is not a small-potatoes girl and has captured her share of difficult matches, which includes knocking out Howard along the way on numerous occasions.

Winning over 3 million dollars in tournament action, Annie branched out to become a advisor to both UltimateBet and actor Ben Affleck, who wished to build up his skills and become a big player at the poker table.

You might run into Annie at the Bellagio, you’ll see her on the television and you may even play with her in a net poker game, but do not bank on an easy win. Unless you’re a rising star, you’ll not defeat her. although, it would be fun to say you played at the same table as "The Duke".
