Annie Duke mightn’t have won her 1st World Series of Poker Bracelet until ‘04 but she remains one of the most feared poker players at the cash games at The Bellagio in vegas. Annie’s longawaited WSOP bracelet came with a win at the "cast aside game" of Omaha Hi-Lo.

While players from the "younger generation" of poker run wild following a big win at the tournament, Annie heads home and becomes "mom" to her four children. She was born in New Hampshire into a family of poker competitors. If you do not accept that, watch her brother, Howard Lederer, in action who coached her how to wager on the game.

However, Mrs. Duke is no small change girl and has succeeded at her share of difficult tables, which includes eliminating Howard along the way on several occasions. They’re both competitors that have the skill to capture the big bucks and do it with a smile.

Annie Duke is a tough player at any poker table due to the fact that she is a natural poker player, but it’s a little more than simply being strong at the game. Annie is very intelligent and graduated from Columbia University where she majored in Psychology and English.

When you take a seat across from Annie at the table you’ll see Annie is there to play the game and she begins "summing" you up as soon as you join the poker table. If you can’t gamble like a winner, then don’t bother.

Winning over three million dollars in tournament competitions, Mrs. Duke became a consultant to both UltimateBet.com and actor Ben Affleck, who aspired to sharpen his talents and become a force at the tables.

You may catch a glimpse of her at the Bellagio, you’ll definitely see her on the television and you may even play against her in a net poker match, but don’t count on a simple win. Except of course you’re a champion-in-the-making, you’ll not defeat her. However, it’d be exciting to mention you played at the at the table with "The Duke".
