When it comes to the mission of bringing more women into the game of poker, few are as passionate as Chris Read, who recently won one of the most prestigious women-focus poker tournaments on the schedule. She recently spoke with PokerNews not only about the win but also about her endeavors to bring more ladies into the game she loves.
Read, who was born and raised in Louisiana but relocated to Georgia in 1986, is married to the love of her life, Rick, and has three grown children and two granddaughters. She and her husband recently built a home on the Back Bay of Biloxi and moved there in March.
