Annie Duke Hired to Figure Poker Schedule

Big name poker pro Annie Duke has been hired by online poker room Ultimate Bet to serve as the official poker room consultant. In her new role Duke, who was one of the first women to ever make a final table at a World Series of Poker main event, will take over managing the tournament schedule. She must be the right choice - she was also instrumental in designing the software's functionality for Ultimate Bet, and has been an on-again, off-again spokesperson for the site. Some of the new features of the upcoming schedule include $1.2 million in guaranteed weekly events and new SNG qualifiers.
