Focus Attention on Annie Duke
Annie Duke mightn’t have attained her 1st WSOP Bracelet until two thousand and four but Annie remains one of the most feared poker competitors around the ring games at The Bellagio in Vegas. Annie’s long-overdue World Series of Poker win came with success at the "forgotten game" of Omaha Hi-Lo.
While competitors from the "younger generation" of poker go crazy after a big win at the tables, Annie heads home to be "mom" to her four kids. She was born in NH and grew up in a family of card players. If you don’t believe that, have a look at her brother, Howard Lederer, in action, Howard taught her the best method to compete in poker.
However, Annie Duke is not a small change girl and has captured her share of difficult games, including knocking out Howard a few times on numerous occasions.
Winning over 3 million dollars in tournament play, Annie branched out to become a advisor to both UltimateBet and actor Ben Affleck, who wanted to hone his skills to become a force in poker.
You may run into Annie at the Bellagio, you’ll see her on TV and you might just even compete with her in a net poker game, but don’t count on a simple win. Unless you are a up and coming master, you’ll not beat her. However, it is likely to be cool to say you sat at the same table as "The Duke".
