Annie Duke might not have captured her 1st WSOP Bracelet until two thousand and four but Annie is one of the most powerful poker competitors around the ring matches at The Bellagio in Sin City. Annie’s long-overdue World Series of Poker bracelet came with a win at the "forgotten game" of Omaha Hi-Lo.

While competitors from the "young crowd" of poker run wild following a huge win at the tables, Annie goes home to be "mommy" to her four kids. She hails from NH and grew up in a family of poker players. If you do not accept that, watch her brother, Howard Lederer, when he plays, Howard taught her the correct way to compete in the game.

However, Annie Duke is no small fry kind of girl and has earned her share of hard games, including eliminating Howard along the way on several occasions.

Earning well over 3 million dollars in tournament play, Annie became a advisor to both UltimateBet and Hollywood actor Ben Affleck, who aspired to sharpen his skills to become a force at the poker table.

You might just notice Annie at the Bellagio, you will catch her on television and you may even compete against her in a web-based poker match, but do not count on an easy win. Unless you’re a champion-in-the-making, you’ll not beat her. However, it would be fun to say you sat at the same table as "The Duke".
