The bio on her website says she's "a chess champion, author, commentator and poker player." But Jennifer Shahade's most important role to date is that of mom to her son Fabian.
As a representative of PokerStars, Shahade has been juggling being a new mom with the desire and need to work and provide for her family. Work-life balance is always a balancing act, and she has been able to find a way to keep all the balls in the air.
And keeping those balls in the air may have just become a bit easier for her thanks to the recent legalization of online poker in her home state of Pennsylvania.
