Under the guidance of Howard, Annie started out in poker back in 1994 taking home $70,000 in her first World Series of Poker. Tutoring actor Ben Afflick gave her considerable publicity when he went on to win at the 2004 California Stake Poker Championship. Annie also won her first WSOP bracelet in the same year. Not content with just playing the game she has also written the book Annie Duke: How I Raised, Folded, Bluffed, Flirted, Cursed and Won Millions at the World Series of Poker.
