Professional gambler Annie Duke played in the World Poker Tour championship, which runs through Sunday. It kicked off Monday at the Bellagio. More than 450 players ponied up a $25,000 buy-in to compete for a first-place payout of about $3 million from a total prize pool of about $11.3 million. That compares with last year's 343 players, $8.6 million prize pool and $2.7 million top prize.
