Las Vegas 2024 Super
Bowl Streaker!

Annie Duke may not have captured her 1st World Series of Poker Bracelet until 2004 but Annie is still one of the most powerful poker players around the ring matches at The Bellagio in Las Vegas. Annie’s long-overdue World Series of Poker win came with success 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 "mum" to her four children. She was born in NH and grew up in a family of card players. If you don’t accept that, watch her brother, Howard Lederer, when he plays, Howard taught her how to compete in poker.

However, Annie Duke is no small fry kind of girl and has won her cut of hard matches, which includes eliminating Howard along the way on numerous occasions.

Winning over three million dollars in tournament action, Annie branched out to become a advisor to both UltimateBet.com and actor Ben Affleck, who wished to hone his abilities and become a force in poker.

You might just run into her at the Bellagio, you’ll catch her on TV and you might just even play with her in an internet poker match, but don’t expect a simple win. Unless you’re a champion-in-the-making, you’ll not defeat her. although, it is likely to be cool to say you sat at the same table as "The Duke".
