Mrs. Duke mightn’t have earned her first World Series of Poker Bracelet until 2004 but she is one of the most feared poker players at the ring matches at The Bellagio in Las Vegas. Annie’s long-overdue WSOP bracelet came with success at the "forgotten game" of Omaha hi/low.

While competitors from the "younger crowd" of poker run wild following a huge win at the tournament, Annie heads back home and becomes "mom" to her four kids. She was born in New Hampshire and raised into a family of card players. If you do not believe that, check out her brother, Howard Lederer, in action who educated her how to compete in the game.

However, Annie Duke is no small change girl and has won her share of difficult tables, including eliminating Howard a few times along the way. They’re both players that have the ability to acquire the huge bucks and do so with a smile.

Mrs. Duke is a strong competitor at any table due to the fact that she is a legitimate poker player, but it is a bit more than simply being skilled at the game. Annie is very smart and graduated from Columbia U where she took a double major in Psychology and English.

When you take a seat across from her at the poker table you will see Annie Duke is there to play the game and she begins "summing" you up as soon as you approach the table. If you can not gamble like a winner, then do not bother.

Winning over $3 million in tournament competitions, Annie became a adviser to both UltimateBet.com and Hollywood actor Ben Affleck, who wanted to hone his skills and become a power at the poker table.

You will likely glimpse her at the Bellagio, you will notice her on television and you might even play against her in a cyber poker match, but don’t count on an easy win. Unless you are a camp-in-the-making, you won’t defeat her. Although, it’d be fun to mention you played at the same table as "The Duke".
