Focus Attention on Annie Duke
Annie Duke might not have captured her 1st WSOP Bracelet until two thousand and four but Annie remains one of the most powerful poker competitors around the ring matches at The Bellagio in Las 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 huge win at the tables, Annie goes home to be "mommy" to her four children. She hails from New Hampshire and was raised into a family of card players. If you don't accept that, have a look at her sibling, Howard Lederer, when he plays, Howard taught Annie the best method to compete in poker.
However, Annie Duke is not a small-potatoes girl and has earned her cut of hard matches, which includes knocking out Howard along the way on numerous occasions.
Winning over three million dollars in tournament action, Annie became a consultant to both UltimateBet and actor Ben Affleck, who aspired to hone his skills to become a force at the poker table.
You may encounter Annie at the Bellagio, you will see her on the television and you might even play against her in an internet poker game, but do not count on a simple win. Unless you are a champion-in-the-making, you will not beat her. However, it is likely to be fun to say you played at the same table as "The Duke".
