Annie Duke might not have came away with her 1st World Series of Poker Bracelet until two thousand and four but she is still one of the most powerful poker players around the ring games at The Bellagio in Vegas. Annie’s long-awaited 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 berserk following a big win at the tables, Annie heads home to be "mum" to her 4 kids. She was born in NH and grew up in a family of poker players. If you do not accept that, observe her sibling, Howard Lederer, in action, who taught Annie how to play poker.

However, Annie Duke is no small-potatoes girl and has won her share of difficult tables, including eliminating Howard along the way on several occasions.

Earning over 3 million dollars in tournament action, Annie became a advisor to both UltimateBet.com and Hollywood actor Ben Affleck, who wished to build up his skills and become a power player at the poker table.

You might just see Annie at the Bellagio, you’ll catch her on the television and you might just even play against her in a net poker game, but do not expect a simple win. Unless you are a up and coming master, you won’t defeat her. However, it is likely to be fun to say you played at the same table as "The Duke".
