Annie Duke is the sister of fellow poker player Howard Lederer; she became interested in poker after leaving school in 1992. With her success in poker, she has appeared in many TV shows, and at one time hosted her own poker special on GSN called Annie Duke Takes on the World alongside another game show host & comedian Regan Burns. In 2009 she participated in the 8th installment of Donald Trump's Celebrity Apprentice in which she finished 2nd. Joan Rivers was the champion that season.
