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'.'

Before embarking on his latest poker test, the Canadian had to decipher another cryptic message from PokerStars. After noting the reference to Hercules and the Mares of Diomedes, Shaban deduced that H.O.R.S.E. was going to be the game of choice.
Saddle Up and Cash
Specifically, the proverbial poker gods wanted the Twitch streamer to cash in a H.O.R.S.E. tournament within five days of receiving his instructions. Although the seventh 12 Labors of Arlie challenge ended with a visit to the emergency room, Shaban got back in the saddle and put his mixed game skills to the test.
Despite not knowing all the games involved in H.O.R.S.E., the former Big Brother Canada contestant was able to mix it up like a pro after just two days at the virtual felt. Using wisdom gleaned from Daniel Negreanu in a previous challenge, Shaban made it second time lucky during November 19 live stream.
After busting his first attempt, Shaban made into the top 31 players of a $4.40 H.O.R.S.E. tournament on PokerStars. In completing his eighth 12 Labors of Arlie task, the Twitch personality performed an impromptu dance as he took another step towards winning a $30,000 Platinum Pass.
Tapping into New Revenue Streams
By giving Shaban a chance to play in the 2019 Players NL Hold’em Championship, PokerStars is using the promotion to open up new revenue streams. Prior to becoming the eponymous hero in the 12 Labors of Arlie Challenge, Shaban was carving out a niche for himself on Twitch.
Buoyed by his appearance on Canadian TV, the streamer built up a following by performing a number of quirky feats. His most outlandish feat occured in March 2018 when he streamed 1,000 hours of poker over 125 consecutive days.
That performance not only made him a social media star but opened up the doors to a collaboration with PokerStars. Through this partnership, PokerStars is using the 12 Labors of Arlie Challenge to forge links with the Twitch community and persuade new players to ante-up.
For Shaban, there are now just four tasks left to complete before he gets to play in the biggest tournament of his life.
