Poker fans are wondering when professional player and author Annie Duke, who’s currently one of the stars on Celebrity Apprentice with Donald Trump, will get a shot at being the project manager on the hit NBC show.

The celebrities currently competing on Celebrity Apprentice are trying to win money for their selected charities. Duke’s chosen charity is Refugees International.

To read Duke’s thoughts on her appearance on the show and what she plans to do to impress Trump, read this interview at Poker News Daily.

Duke 43, won a bracelet at the 2004 World Series of Poker $2,000 Omaha Hi-Low Split-8 or Better event and was the winner of the 2004 World Series of Poker Tournament of Champions, where she earned a cool $2 million.

She began playing poker in the legal card rooms in Billings, Montana, where her brother, Howard, was already a successful professional. Howard coached Annie and helped finance her play initially. In 1994, she moved to Las Vegas to start playing poker full time.
