Annie Duke may not have captured her first World Series of Poker Bracelet until 2004 but Annie is one of the most feared poker competitors around the ring matches at The Bellagio in Las Vegas. 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 "young crowd" of poker run wild following a big success at the tables, Annie goes home to be "mommy" to her four children. She was born in NH and grew up in a family of poker players. If you do not believe that, have a look at her sibling, Howard Lederer, when he plays, Howard taught her the correct way to compete in the game.

However, Annie Duke is no small fry kind of girl and has captured her share of hard matches, including eliminating Howard along the way on several occasions.

Earning over $3 million in tournament play, Annie branched out to become a advisor to both UltimateBet.com and actor Ben Affleck, who wished to hone his skills to become a force at the poker table.

You might just observe Annie at the Bellagio, you will see her on the tv and you may even play against her in a web poker game, but do not expect an easy win. Unless you are a rising star, you will not defeat her. However, it is likely to be cool to say you sat at the same table as "The Duke".
