Chanpoker.com, a new online poker venture affiliated with poker legend and three times world champion Johnny Chan, has signed with Ongame Network - one of the world's largest online poker networks and a supplier of poker and casino software.
The Chanpoker.com site is scheduled to launch on 30 March: once it is live, players will be able to greet, meet and face one of poker's most celebrated superstars represented by a specially customized avatar.
"It's a great honor for us to have been chosen by Johnny Chan and the team behind Chanpoker.com, and we loved the idea of creating an avatar exclusively for Mr. Chan," said Martin Lerby, head of Ongame Network. "We look forward to seeing him play on chanpoker.com and fulfilling many poker players' dreams of being able to play against him - and possibly even beat him!"
Players will not only be able to play against Johnny Chan, but will even be able to take lessons and tutoring from him at the Chanpoker school of poker. Special live tournaments, freerolls and opportunities to meet the legend face-to-face are just some of the other attractions that will make Chanpoker unique.
"Joining Ongame Network will ensure that Chanpoker's players will have an enjoyable and consistent experience on one of the most tried, tested and trusted platforms online," concludes Xander Oxman, Chanpoker's Marketing Director.
