Somerville’s Tweet received 121 re-Tweets and had been Favorited 556 times when we checked it out. He even took time to respond to several comments in the feed, including one asking whether his schedule would be as rigid as it was before. To that, Somerville replied, “I’m still gonna try to be consistent, but maybe with less ‘rules.'”

Run it Up will take place, as Somerville alluded to, every day. When asked whether he’ll be doing it every day for 730 days, or two years straight, however, Somerville responded, “Might be a LITTLE under 730 days. That would be ultra-tenacity tho for sure.”

Somerville has been largely silent on Twitch in the last couple of months with the World Series of Poker in Las Vegas. He plays on his home site, PokerStars, which is not regulated in the US and so is not available to US players. His last Twitch broadcast came on July 1 when he was interviewed in the halls of the Rio in Las Vegas.

In March, Somerville began 70 straight days of streaming on Twitch. He has served as a pioneer of poker on the media platform and was nominated for an American Poker Award for Poker Media Content of the Year in February.

Somerville’s Twitch stream has received an incredible 7.4 million views and has over 105,000 followers. In an interview in May, the PokerStars pro told us, “Twitch is a great base to interact with users. It’s amazing for poker as both an entertainment and educational engine.” Somerville’s presence on Twitch has caused, either directly or indirectly, other staples of poker to stream, including Daniel Negreanuand Phil Hellmuth.
