Chan poker has a notice on the website that is closing effective Thursday August 21/08. Too bad I've had a great run on their since The Forum ran their tournaments on there.
Chan Poker Closing
Yes, I am disappointed about this, gg Chan.
Thanks for the heads up.
I used the $20 in pokerforum.ca bonus buck on chan.
When I tried to withdraw I found I needed to have a minimum of $30 to make a cheque withdraw....
Sat down and slooowly "grinded" out a small ball win up to $32...
Everyone who has cash on Chan should get it out ASAP ....

You should get it out sooner than later, but don't worry, your cash is safe. As far as I understand, Ongame controls all cash and they aren't going anywhere.ReefAquarium;161433 wroteEveryone who has cash on Chan should get it out ASAP ....
I decided to see what I could do with the remaining $25 in my account.... and after getting up to about $40 and back down to $25 with some brutal luck I finally found this donk:
(I uninstalled the program, so can't get the official hand history)... here's a rough recap.
PLaying 0.10/0.20 NL
2 Villians in hand.
HERO is on button, villian is in CO (he has been raising about once every 5 hands to $1.)
There are 4 limpers, action to CO, and he pops it up to $1.
HERO - decides to see a flop, hoping to get a piece so I can take his stack. So I call with 8h9h. CO+1 is the only other caller (this represents a weak hand, as CO+1 has reraised CO whenever he had a strong hand)
low and behold the flop comes 8d8skh. CO+1 bets out $1.20, and CO calls. I decide since there are no flush draws or str8 draws, to just slow play and let them do my betting. I suspect CO+1 is just trying to steal the pot, since CO probably has nothing.
Turn is the 2s, a brick, I would of preferred 2c but can't be picky. CO+1 checks (giving up on steal), CO makes his usual bluff, of $3. I just call hoping to rope in the CO+1. CO+1 calls. - EXCELLENT.
River 7h. I'm not too worried about someone having a full house here, since CO+1 has called CO's $1 preflop bets with a huge range of hands, and likely has 2 pair at this point. CO is the only one who could have a boat; but since he raises to $1 preflop with any hand I'm pretty sure I'm good.
CO+1 checks, CO checks, and I put out a small bet of $3 again, trying to induce the donkey into bluffing again, and if not, at least getting 1 or 2 callers. CO+1 folds, and CO........ RAISES to $8 - JACKPOT!!!
I wait a little bit and then go all-in, I have about $17 back, CO had about $2 more than me when the hand began.
CO Calls!! - now I'm thinking oh crap, he's hit a boat, I'm screwed....
He shows this hand.... wait for it.......
wait for it.....
5d7d..... That's right, he called a bet for nearly all his chips with only 57. I couldn't believe it. I can't decide what was the most shocking part... that he called the river bet or that he called the flop bet, and bluffed the turn with that trash.
anyway... that's my "Last day of CHAN POKER" story. Thanks Chan. :)
The donkey didn't refill when he lost his last $2 on the next hand... i sat there waiting.. praying he would... but alas no refill. :(
ps. his username was giant_s. I hope that isn't anyone on this forum. ;)

Any idea whether or not they'll be merging the Chan Poker accounts into another skin, or will Chan Poker accounts simply no longer exist?Graham;161454 wroteYou should get it out sooner than later, but don't worry, your cash is safe.

They are going to be moving things to another skin to honor player points (hopefully), but account balances will not be transferable unfortunatetly. The main reason for the move is so that they can accept US players, but the Chan brand will cease to exist.westside8;161571 wroteAny idea whether or not they'll be merging the Chan Poker accounts into another skin, or will Chan Poker accounts simply no longer exist?

Anyone cash out form Chan the day they shut down? Did you receive your check/(insert other method of cash out here)?
I requested a cheque the day of closing and haven't received it yet. I'm not expecting it in a hurry but I'm in no rush to receive it.
I'm just peeved that I couldn't get the last $0.83 out of the account.

I requested a cheque and received it on Tuesday. Was actually surprised how fast.
I requested a cheque but haven't got it yet.
My cheque came today. Exactly 7 days after the request. Stupid fuckers converted it to Cdn$ though.
Requested mine last Friday, Aug 22nd, nothing yet....
Cashed out 8/22, received dep to CC and check in mail on 8/25.

Anyone else not get their withdrawal from Chan? I did but my wife, who had $123. on there, all of it won originally from freerolls has never received the check like I did... She's pissed and considers it a bad beat...
I got my money into click2pay in about 3 days. I withdrew after they closed and everything went well.

If there are any issues, send me the player username and I will contact Chan for you.
