Annie Duke, poker superstar and "Celebrity Apprentice" finalist, checked in at the Boston Harbor Hotel on Monday, May 11 hours after getting the boot from Donald Trump on national TV on Sunday, May 10.Duke, who has attended the Texas Hold 'Em Tournament for the past three years, has maintained her competitive spirit at a Boston-area charity event and ended up raising $550,000 for the Children's Hospital of Boston.
Losing to iconic comic and "God's Love We Deliver" philanthropist Joan Rivers, the mother of four tweets here that she's glad to be done with "Celebrity Apprentice" so she "can get back to my work with la familia."
However, Duke didn't go down without a fight. After Rivers said the New Hampshire native was "worse than Hitler" and quipped that her friends were mafioso trash, Duke shot back with a snarky blog post here, claiming Trump "slow rolled" her when he deviated from his usual "you're hired" protocol by pointing at Duke and then firing her.
At the Boston charity event, Duke appears to be moving on. The 43-year-old winner of the 2004 World Series of Poker tweets that she checked in to her hotel room at the Boston Harbor Hotel at the same time as the Orlando Magic. "They are going down on Tuesday," she muses, adding that she scored tickets to tonight's Celtic-Magic playoff game.
