i don't know a whole lot about the story, but supposedly when they first met daniel was somewhat new to professional poker, but he had some major successes, and he sat down in a game with annie...she went on to openly criticize his play at the table, and do several other inappropriate things at the table, which set them against each other from the very beginning...daniel went on to respond on the rec.gambling.poker forum that she put her dirty bare feet on the chairs and soiled themthen there were other apparent incidents, including one where daniel and annie were at the same table online and annie managed to get daniel's chat banned...he then sent her an extremely nasty e-mail ripping her apart for what she did eventually, a number of other famous pros got in on the situation, taking sides one way or the other...the culmination of the situtation came when daniel and annie's brother, howard lederer, got into a fight on the rec.gambling.poker forum, with howard chastising daniel for feeling that his good friend jennifer harman was the only female player worthy of credit, and daniel saying that many top pros know that jennifer is a better player and that annie is not only a mediocre player but classless...daniel and howard ended up not speaking to each other but buried the hatchet over a money issue and now seem to be on good terms, but annie and daniel still do not speak
