 Annie
Duke Going for Gold
at WSOP!
UltimateBet’s very
own Annie Duke has
made her way through
the ranks to her
first final table of
the 2008 WSOP.
Beating out a number
of professional
poker players,
including her very
own brother Howard
Lederer, Annie now
finds herself
sitting in the hot
seat against the
likes of Chris
Ferguson and Marcel
Luske to name a
couple.
With
a field of 261
players and a prize
pool at an
impressive
$1,226,700, the
World Championship
Seven Card Stud
Hi-Low Split – 8 or
Better will
prove to be a final
table to follow!
After a grueling 2nd
day lasting over 16
hours, the exhausted
final table players
will no doubt have
to get their heads
in the game and come
back today on a
mission to win!
In early 2004, Duke
received
considerable
publicity for
tutoring actor Ben
Affleck, who then
went on to win the
2004 California
State Poker
Championship.
Before this time,
one of her claims to
poker fame was her
10th place finish in
the 2000 World
Series of Poker main
event (one position
short of the final
table) while eight
months pregnant with
her third child.
In the 2004 World
Series of Poker she
also eliminated her
brother Howard
Lederer from four
separate events,
including the
Tournament of
Champions. During
this same World
Series, she won her
first gold bracelet,
in an Omaha Hi-Lo
tournament. She was
one of three women
(Kathy Liebert and
Cyndy Violette being
the other two) to
win an open event in
that year's WSOP.
Ms. Duke's total
career winnings come
in at just over $1.4
million.
UltimateBet and all
of her fans wish
Annie Duke the best
of luck!
