Chan Wai Leong is a Malaysian professional poker player from Petaling Jaya. He has been active in poker since approximately 2009 and is recognized as an established figure on the international high-stakes circuit.

Chan began his career online, primarily playing pot-limit Omaha (PLO) cash games. By 2014, he had about five years of poker experience, most of it gained online. He later moved into live high-stakes poker, becoming a familiar presence among elite international players.

Chan has been associated with the Triton Poker Series since its early days, debuting at the organization's second-ever event in the Philippines in 2016. At the prestigious 2019 Triton Million, he was officially classified as a professional player, distinguishing him from the invited businessmen and recreational players.

Despite his long-standing presence in high-stakes poker, Chan maintains a relatively private. Poker media have noted his limited interest in interviews and publicity, making him less visible than many of his contemporaries. His reputation stems primarily from years of participation in elite poker games rather than from social media, content creation, or public appearances.
