Bowl Streaker!

Annie Duke might not have attained her first World Series of Poker Bracelet until 2004 but Annie is one of the most feared poker players around the ring matches at The Bellagio in 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 go berserk following a big success at the tables, Annie heads home to be "mom" to her 4 children. She was born in NH and grew up in a family of card players. If you don’t believe that, observe her brother, Howard Lederer, in action, who taught her how to compete in poker.

However, Annie Duke is no small change girl and has captured her share of difficult tables, which includes eliminating Howard along the way on numerous occasions.

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

You might just observe her at the Bellagio, you’ll catch her on TV and you might just even play with her in a web-based poker match, but do not bank on an easy win. Unless you are a champion-in-the-making, you won’t beat her. although, it is likely to be cool to say you played at the same table as "The Duke".
