Newest PokerStars Team Pro Jason Somerville Starts 70-Day Online Poker Stream Marathon

After all the sad goodbyes and terminated (or not renewed) contracts with popular pros, the poker community welcomed the news from @PokerStars about the signing of @Jason Somerville as its newest Team Pro.

@Daniel Negreanu speaks for many in the world of poker in his latest blog dedicated to Jason:

What the Jason Somerville signing proves, is that hard work promoting poker does pay off. I realize it's not for everyone, but Jason has spent countless hours providing free content with the hopes one day that it could turn into something of a career. It has, and I'm proud of him.

The Run It Up founder and former Ultimate Poker ambassador comes on board 'humble and hungry' for new exploits in an area where he has been a tireless pioneer in the past few years and which he feels holds the key to the next poker boom - live streaming.

"Honestly, my entire being just wants to stream."

Flushdraw interview, Jan 31st

I want to become the best broadcaster I can be, there is still so much room left for me to grow and improve, both personally and with the show. We are just beginning to see Twitch poker grow, and the fact I can have a role in building that tent is something that I take very seriously. That’s my goal this year.

If you are twitching to see him in action, you won't have to wait long -  starting tomorrow, March 1, Somerville will be playing on PokerStars for about 4 hours every day for 70 days in a row, all while streaming on Twitch under the screen name "'jcarverpoker".

I think it's very interesting to combine the power of what I'm doing--the innovative platform on Twitch--with the power of PokerStars to create this amazing recipe of awesomeness that I just can't wait to explore and develop together.

EPTlive fans are sure to rejoice at the news and the prospect of more appearances by Jason in the EPT commentary booth. The PCA stream with the knowledgeable and engaging commentary by Jason alongside all-time favorites @Joe Stapleton and @James Hartigan was a phenomenal success.
