Chaar-Lee discovered poker over 20 years ago, starting with fixed-limit games before embracing the rise of No-Limit Hold’em across cash games, STTs, and MTTs. In the early days, he and his circle sometimes played more than 40 different formats in a single night. He organized the first poker camp in his region and has contributed poker technology to several televised shows. Today, he supports the SOMUCHPOKER team from the tech side, blending two decades of poker passion with technical expertise.

Hong Kong’s Chan Lok Ming has braved the Taiwan live tournament scene the past four years, garnering over a dozen titles and US$ 322,324 in accumulated cashes throughout. Among these were several five-figure scores, the biggest of which was a runner-up finish in the CTP Taipei Weekly High Roller Event back in March 2021 for NT$ 288,800 (~US$ 44,156). Chan kicked off 2022 even stronger, having locked in a jaw dropping six victories in the Taiwan Millions Tournament to start the year for a combined NT$ 1.8M (~U$ 66,351) in winnings.

Throughout his short career, the young pro stands to rank 26th in Hong Kong’s All Time Money List with his Total Live Earnings shy of the $500K mark according to The Hendon Mob.
