Annie Duke might not have attained her 1st WSOP Bracelet until two thousand and four but Annie remains one of the most powerful poker players around the ring games at The Bellagio in Sin City. Annie’s long-overdue World Series of Poker win came with a win at the "forgotten game" of Omaha Hi-Lo.

While players from the "younger generation" of poker run wild after a huge win at the tables, Annie heads home to be "mum" to her 4 kids. She hails from NH and was raised into a family of poker players. If you don’t believe that, observe her brother, Howard Lederer, in action, who taught her the best method to compete in poker.

However, Annie Duke is not a small-potatoes girl and has earned her share of hard games, including knocking out Howard a few times on several occasions.

Winning well over $3 million in tournament play, Annie branched out to become a advisor to both UltimateBet.com and actor Ben Affleck, who wanted to hone his skills to become a power player in poker.

You might just notice Annie at the Bellagio, you will catch her on the television and you might just even play against her in an online poker game, but do not count on an easy win. Unless you are a rising star, you won’t defeat her. However, it is likely to be fun to say you sat at the same table as "The Duke".
