Annie Duke may not have won her first World Series of Poker Bracelet until two thousand and four but she is still one of the most powerful poker competitors around the ring matches at The Bellagio in Vegas. 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 "mum" to her four kids. She hails from New Hampshire and was raised into a family of card players. If you do not believe that, watch her brother, Howard Lederer, when he plays, Howard taught Annie the correct way to play poker.

However, Annie Duke is not a small-potatoes girl and has captured her share of difficult games, which includes eliminating Howard a few times on numerous occasions.

Earning well over $3 million in tournament action, Annie became a consultant to both UltimateBet and actor Ben Affleck, who aspired to build up his abilities and become a force at the poker table.

You might catch her at the Bellagio, you will catch her on the tv and you might just even compete against her in a web poker game, but don't count on an easy win. Unless you're a up and coming master, you'll not defeat her. although, it is likely to be cool to say you played at the same table as "The Duke".
