Arlie Shaban: Technically yes, but that's just because I met Kevin Martin through the Big Brother process which introduced me to Twitch. Getting noticed for a reality TV show was super easy, they have an audition process and promise to watch every video, then it’s your job to grab their attention. Arlie Shaban's Results, Stats.

PokerStars Twitch Streamer Arlie Shaban famously quit his job and then begun streaming poker, broadcasting for 1,000 horus over 125 consecutive days.
The former Big Brother Canada contestant's exploits were recognised by RunItUp and PokerStars, and he spoke to PokerNews all about his Sunday Million memories.
Shaban told us that he first played the Sunday Million around six years ago, and to this day feels it's one of the most prestigious poker tournaments in online poker.
'Where else could you pay $215 for a chance to win $100,000+ for first?' he told PokerNews.
'The fact that this game runs weekly with a $1,000,000 guarantee gives every poker player their chance at hitting a six-figure score without putting in a massive investment.'
One memory Shaban has of the Sunday Million comes from November 2017, when fellow PokerStars Team Pro Fintan Hand made a deep run.

'I was railing Fintan off to the side whilst in the middle of my own grind. He was making a very deep run in the Sunday Million and had about 5,000+ viewers.
'I believe he busted around the final two tables, but then out of nowhere, he decided to host me. That was such an incredible moment for me, I never imagined getting a massive host like that within my first few weeks.'
Having satellited into the Sunday Million himself, Shaban stressed the importance of online qualifiers, especially in these 'special edition' tournaments.

'These special edition tournaments are rare, and they are that way for a reason! With this upcoming Sunday Million any player who plays in it can then say they were a part of the biggest online tournament ever.

'There is going to be so much money sitting around at that final table I can’t see why any poker player wouldn't take their shot on this game. All you need is that ONE TIME, and when better to use your ONE TIME then on the biggest online tournament in history!'
And if he won, what would Shaban do with the winnings?

'If I won the Sunday Million I would put a nice down payment on a house, and I hang a sign in my front hallway that said 'The house that poker built'.'
