Annie Duke might not have attained her first World Series of Poker Bracelet until two thousand and four but she is still one of the most feared poker players around the ring games 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 go berserk after a huge win at the tables, Annie goes home to be "mommy" to her 4 kids. She hails from NH and grew up in a family of card players. If you don’t believe that, have a look at her sibling, Howard Lederer, when he plays, who taught Annie how to play poker.

However, Annie Duke is not a small change girl and has earned her cut of difficult games, which includes eliminating Howard a few times on numerous occasions.

Winning over $3 million in tournament action, Annie became a advisor to both UltimateBet and actor Ben Affleck, who wished to sharpen his techniques and become a force in poker.

You may notice her at the Bellagio, you will see her on television and you might just even compete against her in an internet poker game, but do not expect an easy win. Unless you are a rising star, you won’t defeat her. However, it would be fun to say you played at the same table as "The Duke".
