Team PokerStars Online Pro Kevin Martin isn't an online poker tournament wizard with a slew of results in big events. He doesn't spend his time taking on the best in the world at nosebleed stakes.
He's no live tournament phenom with millions in earnings or a lengthy list of titles either. He doesn't have a World Series of Poker bracelet. In fact, he's only got one WSOP cash on his resume from this year's Colossus II and his live tournament earnings are still measure with just four figures.
What Martin can lay claim to is the fact that he is a former rock-radio DJ from Lethbridge, Alberta turned Calgary-based small-stakes pro who took a turn as a reality show contestant on Big Brother Canada 3 before finding growing success in what many people now see as the future of poker broadcasting: Twitch streaming.
