Annie Duke
Annie Duke is the top woman money poker player in the world. Before she became a professional poker player, she earned a double major in English and Psychology from the Columbia University. She was just one month from getting her PhD when she dropped it in favor of a poker career.
She won her only WSOP bracelet in 2006 at the Omaha Hi Low event. At present, she is the top women money maker in the WSOP tour. These days she refuses to play in all female tournaments because she thinks that the poker table is a gender equal field.
