Annie Duke mightn’t have attained her first WSOP Bracelet until 2004 but Annie remains one of the most feared poker players around the ring matches at The Bellagio in Las Vegas. Annie’s long-awaited WSOP win came with a win at the "forgotten game" of Omaha Hi-Lo.

While competitors from the "younger generation" of poker run amok after a huge win at the tables, Annie heads home to be "mommy" to her four children. She hails from New Hampshire and grew up in a family of poker players. If you don’t accept that, watch her sibling, Howard Lederer, in action, Howard taught her the correct way to compete in the game.

However, Annie Duke is not a small change girl and has captured her share of hard games, which includes eliminating Howard a few times on several occasions.

Earning well over three million dollars in tournament action, Annie became a consultant to both UltimateBet.com and Hollywood actor Ben Affleck, who wished to develop his techniques to become a power player in poker.

You might catch Annie at the Bellagio, you’ll see her on TV and you might just even compete with her in a web poker match, but don’t count on a simple win. Unless you’re a rising star, you will not beat her. However, it would be cool to say you sat at the same table as "The Duke".
