Annie Duke may not have captured her 1st WSOP Bracelet until 2004 but she is still one of the most feared poker competitors around the ring games at The Bellagio in Vegas. Annie’s long-overdue World Series of Poker win came with success at the "forgotten game" of Omaha Hi-Lo.

While players from the "younger generation" of poker go crazy after a big success at the tables, Annie heads home to be "mum" to her 4 kids. She was born in New Hampshire and grew up in a family of card players. If you don’t believe that, watch her brother, Howard Lederer, in action, Howard taught Annie the best method to play poker.

However, Annie Duke is no small fry kind of girl and has captured her cut of hard games, including knocking out Howard along the way on numerous occasions.

Winning over three million dollars in tournament play, Annie branched out to become a advisor to both UltimateBet.com and actor Ben Affleck, who wished to hone his techniques and become a power player in poker.

You may observe her at the Bellagio, you will catch her on TV and you may even play against her in a net poker match, but do not expect a simple win. Unless you are a champion-in-the-making, you’ll not beat her. although, it is likely to be fun to say you sat at the same table as "The Duke".
