Focus Attention on Annie Duke
Annie Duke might not have came away with her first WSOP Bracelet until two thousand and four but Annie is one of the most powerful poker competitors around the ring matches at The Bellagio in Sin City. Annie’s long-overdue World Series of Poker bracelet came with success at the "forgotten game" of Omaha Hi-Lo.
While players from the "young crowd" of poker run amok following a huge success at the tables, Annie goes home to be "mum" to her four kids. She hails from NH and was raised into a family of poker players. If you do not believe that, have a look at her brother, Howard Lederer, when he plays, who taught Annie the correct way to play the game.
However, Annie Duke is no small-potatoes girl and has won her share of challenging games, including eliminating Howard a few times on numerous occasions.
Winning over 3 million dollars in tournament play, Annie became a consultant to both UltimateBet and actor Ben Affleck, who wanted to develop his abilities and become a big player in poker.
You might run into her at the Bellagio, you will catch her on the television and you might even compete with her in a net poker match, but do not bank on an easy win. Unless you’re a champion-in-the-making, you’ll not defeat her. although, it is likely to be fun to say you sat at the same table as "The Duke".
