Annie Duke might not have won her 1st WSOP Bracelet until 2004 but Annie remains one of the most feared poker players around the ring games at The Bellagio in Vegas. Annie’s long-awaited World Series of Poker bracelet came with a win 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 goes home to be "mommy" to her 4 children. She was born in NH and grew up in a family of poker players. If you don’t accept that, watch her sibling, Howard Lederer, in action, Howard taught Annie how to compete in poker.

However, Annie Duke is no small change girl and has won her share of difficult games, which includes knocking out Howard along the way on numerous occasions.

Earning over 3 million dollars in tournament play, Annie became a consultant to both UltimateBet.com and Hollywood actor Ben Affleck, who aspired to hone his skills to become a force in poker.

You might catch Annie at the Bellagio, you’ll see her on TV and you may even compete with her in a web-based poker match, but don’t expect an easy win. Unless you are a up and coming master, you won’t beat her. although, it is likely to be fun to say you played at the same table as "The Duke".
