Annie Duke might not have came away with her 1st World Series of Poker Bracelet until 2004 but Annie is one of the most feared 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 "younger generation" of poker go crazy after a huge win at the tables, Annie goes home to be "mum" to her four kids. 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 brother, Howard Lederer, in action, Howard taught her the best method to play poker.

However, Annie Duke is no small fry kind of girl and has captured her cut of challenging tables, which includes knocking out Howard along the way on several occasions.

Earning over $3 million in tournament action, Annie became a consultant to both UltimateBet.com and Hollywood actor Ben Affleck, who wanted to build up his skills to become a big player at the poker table.

You may catch her at the Bellagio, you’ll catch her on the television and you might even play against her in a web poker game, but don’t bank on an easy win. Unless you’re a champion-in-the-making, you’ll not beat her. However, it is likely to be fun to say you played at the same table as "The Duke".
