​PLON Rising is a new project of a women's organization that aims to attract girls to poker between 18 and 29 years of age. Lena Evans is the founder of this project and she has an ambitious goal, namely to increase the number of girls in poker by more than 5% of the total number of players.

It's no secret that a lot more men prevail in poker, rather than women. This is confirmed by the WSOP Main Event statistics (there were only 4% of women out of 7 000 players).
