began playing poker at age 22 and left the University of Pennsylvania to
play poker. She learned the game from her brother Howard Lederer - who she
considers one of her most respected players along with Ted Forrest,
Jennifer Harman, and Eric Seidel. She plays in a many of the higher-limit
tournaments and cash games in Las Vegas, where she currently
lives. Annie's sister, Katy Lederer,
recently wrote a memoir titled Pokerface which talks about Annie's
poker family. Annie works with UltimateBet.com, where she promotes the
site and writes articles on poker. Annie is considered by most to be the
best female poker player in the world and she regularly proves that women
can excel in poker, which has traditionally been dominated by males. She
is the top female World Series of Poker money winner in history and will
always be remembered when she finished in 10th place at the WSOP when she
was eight months pregnant.
