UltimateBet’s Annie Duke to take on The Donald

Brian Thomas - 14 Jan 2009

There are tough opponents, and then there are tough opponents – facing Donald Trump across the table would be tough for anyone, can UltimateBet sponsored pro Annie Duke keep her cool?

Annie Duke is no push over, that’s for sure. Making it to the final table of the main event of the World Series of Poker is tough, but try it NINE MONTHS PREGNANT and then let’s talk.

But what about Duke in this environment? She’s a poker pro, not a business pro. What makes her qualified to compete in the business- focused world of The Apprentice? Then again, take a look at her competition.

Dennis Rodman and Hershel Walker, two iconic sports stars -- Klohie Kardashian, a socialite -- Joan Rivers, Tom Green and Andrew Dice Clay, comedians -- Claudia Jordan, a TV model – Tionne “T-Boz” Watkins and Brian McKnight, singers -- Natalie Gulbis, another athlete – and finally custom bike guru (and, if the celebrity rumor mill grist is fresh, romantically linked to actress Sandra Bullock) Jesse James.

Sounds like Duke will do just fine.

All the players are competing for a prize of $250,000 to go to their favorite charity (considering how long some of them have been out of show biz, that charity might be themselves) and the season kicks off March 1st. Who will be the first to be fired?

You can see how you would fare against Duke in her specialties – join UltimateBet poker today and play!
