Jason Somerviller is Twitch streamer of the Year

Long before everybody else Somerville started to stream his online poker sessions live on Twitch.

He called the format “Run It Up” and it quickly became a huge success paving the way for Twitch Poker and all other famous streamers.

On top of that, he streamed and commentated the last two Aussie Millions plus the PCA Bahamas 2016 live on his Twitch channel.

That’s why it doesn’t comes as a surprise that Jason won the award for “’Twitch Poker Streamer of the Year” at the GPI American Poker Awards 2017:

Jason organizes has his own poker tournament: Run it Up Reno

Nowadays, Somerville does much more than that such as organizing his own live tournament series.

“Run It Up Reno” is a low buy-in tournament series, which takes place every year in April in the Peppermill Resort and Casino.

It has become a meeting point for fans, fellow Twitch Poker streamers and professional poker players alike.

Every year it gets more and more popular and the opening event of this year’s edition has already set a new record:

Fighting for the legalization of Poker

Besides business Jason Somerville is also very engaged in the legalization process of online poker in the United States.

As part of the Poker Player Alliance (PPA) and together with superstars such as Daniel Negreanu and Phil Hellmuth, he is meeting politicians, organizes conferences or even creates T-Shirts stating “Make Poker Great Again”.

$5 from each purchase automatically go to the Poker Players Alliance to help finance the long and hard fight to bring online poker back to the USA.
