“Anna Kournikova” is slang for holding Ace-King—strong hand that may look great but doesn’t always win.

Explanation. Term comes from tennis star Anna Kournikova: attractive but often unsuccessful in outcomes. In poker, AK is flashy but vulnerable; hence, “I got Anna’d” means AK lost a hand. It encapsulates nice equity but disappointing results—a wink to variance and cooler culture.
