Focus Attention on Annie Duke
Annie Duke mightn’t have captured her 1st WSOP Bracelet until 2004 but Annie is one of the most powerful poker players around the ring games at The Bellagio in Vegas. Annie’s long-overdue WSOP win came with a win at the "forgotten game" of Omaha Hi-Lo.
While players from the "young crowd" of poker run amok after a huge win at the tables, Annie heads home to be "mum" to her 4 kids. She hails from New Hampshire and was raised into a family of poker players. If you don’t accept that, watch her brother, Howard Lederer, when he plays, who taught Annie the best method to play poker.
However, Annie Duke is no small change girl and has earned her share of difficult tables, including eliminating Howard a few times on numerous occasions.
Winning over three million dollars in tournament play, Annie branched out to become a advisor to both UltimateBet and actor Ben Affleck, who aspired to develop his abilities to become a force at the poker table.
You might see Annie at the Bellagio, you’ll catch her on the tv and you might even compete with her in an online poker match, but don’t expect an easy win. Unless you’re a rising star, you won’t beat her. However, it is likely to be fun to say you played at the same table as "The Duke".
