Annie Duke is regarded as one of the best poker players in the world. Not only is she a poker player but she's also an author.
Duke went to Columbia University where she double majored in English and psychology. She was awarded a NSF Fellowship to attend graduate school at the University of Pennsylvania to study cognitive psychology, specifically psycholinguistics. Her intention was to become a professor but she left school in 1992.
Duke began her poker career while playing in the legal card rooms in Billings, MT. Duke's brother, Howard, was already a professional poker player and helped coach her. In 1994, she and her husband moved to Las Vegas so she could start playing poker full time. Ten years later in 2004 Duke won $2,000,000 in the inaugural World Series of Poker Tournament of Champions.
As of 2005, Duke has won one World Series of Poker bracelet and more than $3.1 million in tournament play. In the 2004 World Series of Poker she eliminated her brother Howard Lederer from four separate events.
Besides playing poker, Duke is also a spokesperson for Ultimate Bet and has written many articles for the online poker website. Annie also wrote her own biography, called "Annie Duke: How I Raised, Folded, Bluffed, Flirted, Cursed, and Won Millions at The World Series of Poker."
Most recently in 2006, the Game Show Network premiered a television special titled "Annie Duke Takes on the World", which features Duke playing against amateur poker players.
