- »Jason Somerville Splits With PokerStars
Jason Somerville is the latest prominent poker player to part company with Team PokerStars. Somerville, referred to as “The Godfather of Twitch Poker”, made the announcement in the early hours of January 2nd.
“As of the start of 2020, I will be departing Team PokerStars,” said Somerville via a video posted on Twitter. “I feel a ton of gratitude towards PokerStars for taking a chance on me and Run It Up.”
Somerville was one of the first poker players to see the potential of streaming on Twitch. Some say he is a pioneer when it comes to broadcasting poker content. He quickly built a loyal community that has almost 235,000 followers at the time of writing. The New Yorker helped create the Twitch poker boom and thousands of poker players attempted to follow in his footsteps.
Somerville Founds Run It Up
Run It Up was the name of Somerville’s various poker challenges, including running $50 up to a $10,000 bankroll. His highly entertaining stream attracted followers in droves; they flocked to watch a truly talented poker player grinding online.
PokerStars noticed Somerville’s rapidly growing community and made him a member of Team PokerStars in 2015. Somerville flew the Red Spade flag with pride throughout his tenure and was undoubtedly solely responsible for thousands of poker players joining the world’s largest online poker site.
Somerville’s success spilled into the live poker realm with his Run It Up brand become a live poker tour. The Run It Up poker series runs its 10th event in April at the Peppermill Reno.
Somerville The Poker Player
Many Twitch poker players have more broadcasting talent that poker skills, but Somerville is different. He has more than $2.6 million in online poker tournament cashes and an additional $3.64 million from live events.
The year 2009 saw Somerville come close to securing a World Series of Poker bracelet. A fifth-place finish in a $3,000 No-Limit Hold’em event banked him $103,591. Later that series, Somerville finished second in a $1,500 No-Limit Hold’em Shootout for $194,004.
He came close again the following year, finishing fourth twice, before getting his hands on a bracelet in 2011. Somerville triumphed in the $1,000 No-Limit Hold’em event for $493,091 to become one of the most popular winners in living memory.
Fast forward to 2014 and Somerville played in the $102,000 Super High Roller at the Bellagio, Las Vegas. It was his biggest buy-in tournament by far, but he didn’t let it faze him. The popular star, known as “JCarver” in online poker circles, eventually finished fourth for a career-best $1,327,352.

A blog article published on Valentine’s Day in 2012 saw Somerville come out as gay. His post spread around social media with almost 1,000 supportive messages coming his way. The blog post made it into the mainstream gay community where the further outpouring of support was had.
What Now For The Twitch Star?
Firstly, don’t worry about Somerville disappearing as he plans to continue streaming on Twitch. Indeed, even more content is planned, including a foray into the sports betting world.
Somerville revealed being an American while sponsored by PokerStars hindered him somewhat. “It was tough being limited by my PokerStars exclusivity on the content I could create,” explained Somerville.
PokerStars does have a presence in the United States, offering its services in New Jersey and Pennsylvania. It is only poker, however, that PokerStars offers and not casino or sports betting products. The Run It Up founder has “fallen in love” with sports betting and wants to showcase more of this on his channels, something that wasn’t possible while flying the PokerStars banner.
“In the last two years, I haven’t just sat around eating turkey burgers in my underwear every single day, although that’s pretty fun when it happens. I’ve built a production company that gives me and others a platform to create poker, sports, sports betting and other gambling content that I’m quite bullish on for the future.”
Rest assured, whatever path Somerville decides to go down, it will be fun, informative and professionally created.
House of horrors double-murderer Jason Somerville, jailed today for at least 23 years for killing his wife and neighbour, was called 'scum' by the brother of one of his victims.
Somerville was this morning sentenced to life imprisonment with a minimum non-parole period of 23 years.
Somerville admitted in August last year to killing his wife Rebecca Chamberlain, 33, and Tisha Lowry, 28, and burying their bodies under his house in Hampshire Street, Aranui.

Jacob Lowry, the younger brother of Tisha, referred to Somerville as scum. 'You don't deserve to be on this earth,' he said.
Miss Lowry's sister, Leanne Hodder, said: 'I hate you with so much of myself that the hate I feel has interfered with the rest of my life.'
In the High Court in Christchurch this morning, Judge Lester Chisholm said he had taken the sexual nature and level of depravity into account when considering the sentence and the immeasurable harm he caused the victim's family and their communities.
Chisholm said Somerville's offending was sick beyond description.
At the time of his arrest last year, Somerville told police he had killed both women in the same manner - they had both been strangled, each woman had a pair of his wife's underwear stuffed in their mouths and he went on to have sexual intercourse with each of the women after they had been killed.
Somerville's non-parole period is significantly shorter than that for William Bell who in 2003 was sentenced to the longest minimum non-parole period in New Zealand history - 33 years, later reduced to 30 years on appeal. He killed three people at the Mt Wellington-Panmure Returned Services Association in December 2001.
Clayton Weatherston, jailed for the brutal 2008 murder of 22-year-old Sophie Elliott, was given a non-parole period of at least 18 years.
FAMILIES SEEK RETURN TO NORMALITY
After sentencing on the steps of the courthouse Tisha Lowry's mother, Tanya said, 'It's the end of the justice system as far as Jason Somerville is concerned. He's been sentenced to jail but it's not the end for our family and we'd just like to get our lives back to as normal as possible as a family now.'
Immediately afterwards a spokesman for Rebecca Chamberlain's family said, 'I'd just like to say on behalf of Rebecca's family we're pleased with the sentence that has been given to Jason as we just ask he gets the assistance he requires to carry on through life.'
Both families requested privacy now Somerville has been sentenced.
POEM READ IN COURT
This morning the uncle of Rebecca Chamberlain read a poem in court Rebecca had written in 2001 about facing up to life and God's judgement.

The poem, which was found in her personal belongings after her murder, was read by Peter Clifford-Marsh at this morning's sentence.
During the impact statement, Somerville nodded quietly and appeared to mouth a couple of words.
A selection of 13 victim impact statements were read in court, including tearful stories from Tisha Lowry's mother, sister and brother, and Rebecca Somerville's mother, father, and extended family.

Rebecca Chamberlain's father, Clayton Chamberlain, who lives in Australia, had a statement read out saying: 'I really miss Rebecca and feel lost without her in my life.'
Rebecca Chamberlain was described as 'a troubled lady', but the family said they would miss her company, her singing, and her 'beautiful, giggling laugh'.
