Annie Duke Returns to Chicago for the Chicago Poker
Championships
BODY:
Eagle Games announced today that world-class professional poker
player Annie Duke will be playing in the DD Poker event of the
Chicago Poker Championships (http://www.q101.com/resortseast/index_main.aspx),
to be held this Friday August 12th. The Chicago Poker Championships
run from August 1-14th and are presented by Resorts East Chicago
Casino, Q101 and the Loop. Duke will also be present at the Championship
event held on Saturday August 13th.
Annie Duke is the leading money winner among women in World Series
of Poker history. In August 2004 she successfully battled it out
with the biggest names in poker to win the 2004 ESPN World Series
of Poker Tournament of Champions(R) and the two million dollar
first prize.
"We are delighted to have Annie Duke back in Chicago. The
last time she was here she participated in an event that raised
over $5000 for local charities. It was a wonderful time, but several
attendees wanted the opportunity to play for real against Annie.
This time, thanks to our friends at Q101, the Loop and Resorts
East Chicago Casino, they get their wish" said Glenn Drover,
president and founder of Eagle Games. "Annie is one of the
reasons that DD Tournament
Poker 2005 was the number one selling poker software over
the past year. We are very pleased to be continuing our relationship
with her and are excited about the launch of DD Poker 2006. Poker
continues to be immensely popular and the DD Tournament
Poker software product line fills the huge demand for a software
title that allows players to practice what they have learned from
television and books."
"DD Tournament Poker is a great game for introducing people
to the world of Texas
Hold'em poker," said Duke. "One of the biggest challenges
for new players is to learn the game at their own pace without
risking any money. DD Tournament Poker solves this problem by
allowing novice and intermediate players to play against savvy
computer opponents and to develop a solid understanding of the
game before venturing into cash games."
DD Tournament Poker:
No Limit Texas Hold'em Collector's Edition packaging featuring
Annie Duke is available at fine retailers everywhere and from
the Eagle Games website (http://www.eaglegames.net). DD Poker
2006 is scheduled for release in September.
