Lillian Chan

Lillian Chan is a Canadian poker player who has participated in WSOP Circuit events, primarily in the early 2010s. Her most notable performance came in the 2012-13 WSOP Circuit River Rock Main Event, where she led the field after Day 1c and ultimately finished in 32nd place. She has two recorded WSOP Circuit cashes totaling $24,824.

Chan's two WSOP Circuit cashes both occurred in the 2012-13 season at River Rock:

• 2012 WSOP Circuit River Rock Event #7: No-Limit Hold'em Main Event — 32nd place out of 1,032 entries, earning $6,827. (Date: November 1, 2012)
• 2012 WSOP Circuit River Rock Event #5: No-Limit Hold'em — 3rd place out of 347 entries, earning $17,997. (Date: October 30, 2012)

On November 4, 2012, Chan entered the Main Event on Day 1c and built a stack of 228,600 chips, making her the chip leader of that flight and fourth overall among all three starting flights. During the day, she won a key pot when her pocket queens held against an opponent's pocket jacks, earning her about 45,000 chips.

On Day 2 of the Main Event, Chan was eliminated in 32nd place after a dramatic hand. She moved all-in preflop with Q♠J♠ and was called by Norman Overdijk with A♣A♦. The flop came 10♠9♦4♥, giving Chan straight outs. The turn was A♠, giving Overdijk a set of aces but also giving Chan a straight. However, the river brought a 9♣, completing a full house for Overdijk and ending Chan's tournament. She was the last woman remaining in the field and earned $6,827.

Based on the hands reported, Chan demonstrated an aggressive style, willing to four-bet preflop and call a five-bet shove with queens. She also showed resilience in all-in confrontations, as seen in her elimination hand where she took a risky but calculated gamble.

While Chan's WSOP results are limited to two cashes, her performance in the 2012 River Rock Main Event demonstrated her ability to compete against a large field. She remains a notable figure from the Canadian poker scene of that era.
