Tournament Report

Duke Wins First Gold Bracelet -- in Omaha High-Low Event -- Moves in First Place All-Time Amongst Female Players
Annie Duke topped a field of 234 players in the $2,000 Omaha High-Low event, held on Monday, May 11th in the Horseshoe Casino in downtown Las Vegas. Duke, best known as the high-stakes poker pro and mother of four, reigned supreme on the final table, consisting of several well-known names. She won $137,860 and captured her first gold bracelet at the World Series.

Duke -- who recently relocated from Las Vegas to Portland -- has been a regular on the tournament circuit for nearly ten years. She came to the final table in fifth chip position and took the chip lead when play became four handed. It took Duke about seven hours to defeat a day two lineup consisting of Todd Bleak, Ray Bonavida, Todd Brunson, Shadow Hoffmaster, Don McNamara, Erik Seidel, Dr. Max Stern, and Ron Graham. Graham, from Tacoma, WA was the runner up.

Duke has made several final tables at the World Series, but this marked her first win. With the victory, Duke moved up into first place on the all-time Ladies Money Winners list -- with over $600,000 in lifetime earnings in this tournament alone.
