Mrs. Duke may not have captured her 1st World Series of Poker Bracelet until two thousand and four but she is still one of the most feared poker players at the cash matches at The Bellagio in sin city. Annie’s longawaited World Series of Poker bracelet came with a win at the "forgotten game" of Omaha hi-low.

While players from the "younger crowd" of poker run wild following a big win at the tournament, Annie heads back home and becomes "mom" to her four children. She was born in New Hampshire and raised into a family of poker players. If you don’t accept that, observe her brother, Howard Lederer, in action who taught her how to play the game.

However, Mrs. Duke is no small-potatoes girl and has succeeded at her cut of challenging tables, which includes knocking out Howard along the way on several occasions. They are both players that have the ability to capture the large $$$$$ and do so with a grin.

Annie is a strong competitor at any table due to the fact that she is a true poker player, but it’s a bit more than just being skilled at the game. Mrs. Duke is extremely intelligent and graduated from Columbia U where she majored in English and Psychology.

When you are seated across from Annie at the table you will see she is there to play the game and she begins "sizing" you up as soon as you approach the game table. If you can not compete like a Champion, then don’t waste your time.

Earning over 3 million dollars in tournament competitions, Mrs. Duke branched out to become a consultant to both the UltimateBet website and actor Ben Affleck, who aspired to sharpen his skills and develop into a power at the poker table.

You may see her at the Bellagio, you will notice her on the tv and you may even participate against her in a cyber poker game, but do not count on a simple win. Unless you’re a camp-in-the-making, you will not defeat her. Although, it would be fun to mention you sat at the same table as "The Duke".
