Annie Duke mightn’t have won 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 matches at The Bellagio in Sin City. Annie’s long-awaited World Series of Poker win came with success at the "forgotten game" of Omaha Hi-Lo.

While players from the "young crowd" of poker go crazy following a big win at the tables, Annie heads home to be "mom" to her four children. She hails from New Hampshire and grew up in a family of card players. If you do not believe that, observe her brother, Howard Lederer, in action, who taught her how to compete in poker.

However, Annie Duke is not a small change girl and has captured her share of challenging games, including eliminating Howard a few times on numerous occasions.

Earning over $3 million in tournament action, Annie became a consultant to both UltimateBet.com and Hollywood actor Ben Affleck, who wanted to develop his abilities and become a force 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 an internet poker game, but do not expect an easy win. Unless you’re a up and coming master, you won’t defeat her. However, it would be cool to say you sat at the same table as "The Duke".
