Chan Poker is a relatively new poker room that offers great bonuses, lots of action, and good customer service. Johnny Chan has won 10 WSOP bracelets in his career as a professional poker player. Chan's career winnings total up to over six million dollars. On top of all of this, he now has his own online poker room. Talk about being on the ball! Chan Poker has a slick look that has 3d characters as well as nice sound effects, but the lobby could look a little better. Chan Poker is growing daily and will soon be one of the top poker rooms.
Action at Chan Poker
Chan poker faces a lot of competition from the other major online poker rooms. However, with such a well known pro backing it, there is no doubt that this room will be successful in the long run.

On Chan Poker you can find a good amount of low-stakes games, but as the stakes grow larger, the the amount of players decreases. However, this is normal for any new poker room.
