Annie Duke's Poker History

Annie was born in Concord, New Hampshire and attended Columbia University to major in both English and Psychology, intending to become a professor. She was in graduate school when her brother, Howard Lederer (two-time WPT champion and World Series of Poker bracelet winner) invited her to come with him to Las Vegas during the WSOP. It was here that he taught her the basic rules of Texas Hold’em, and finally, after 5 years of graduate school her frequent trips to Vegas got the better of her, and she decided that the academic life wasn’t for her. If everything befire this had been the preface to her poker history, this was chapter one. She began playing poker more seriously, and Howard – impressed by her budding skill -- eventually convinced her to play at the WSOP where she took 13th place. In her next tournament, she placed 3rd – quite an improvement, huh?! She even knocked her brother out of a tournament she went on to place as a money winner in.

After this she and her family moved to Las Vegas so she could play professionally, and eventually became the most successful woman in the history of the WSOP, earning over $500,000 and 11 final tables in just 8 years of playing.

You can play with all kinds of celebrity female poker players and poker pros at Hollywood Poker.
