Chan Poker Tournaments
Most online poker rooms concentrate their tournaments in Texas Holdem and Omaha only. What’s remarkable about Chan Poker is that you can find tournaments of five card draw and seven card stud running all day long.
Freerolls are not as common as in other poker rooms, but they offer a $50 free tournament daily and a weekly $200 Red Orange Freeroll. This $200 tournament is available to any player that gains at least one player point in the previous month.
Guaranteed and qualifier tournaments are very common, and attract lots of users in peak hours. Their largest guaranteed tournament is the $750,000 Grand Tournament Day, which is held in two days. They also offer qualifiers to big live events like the WSOP.
