Streamer wins Sunday Million live on Twitch

It was only a matter of time before we saw poker's flagship online tournament won live on a streaming site.

Sunday Million

Doug Polk may have the biggest recorded Twitch win of $455,000 but 'TheFan83' this morning took the honour of being the first person to win the PokerStars Sunday Million live on his Twitch stream. 

5,128 players entered last night's event and 'TheFan83' eventually did a deal with 'digopapel' of Brazil and 'KasparovAKs' of Poland, where he eventually took $122,000 (which included $20,000 after the deal to the winner). 

This is not the first major Sunday title for 'TheFan83' as he has also won the Sunday Warmup and the Sunday Kickoff, but this is the first time the most prestigious weekly online tournament has been won live during a Twitch stream.

Do you think streaming a final table of a major would help or hinder your performance? Let us know in the comments:
