It seems like the entire poker community is getting on Twitch. The Amazon-owned live streaming platform has been around since 2011; however, it has recently garnered interest from poker players around the globe; both uploaders and watchers. For the uninitiated, Twitch is an online platform, mostly used by gamers, to live stream their gaming activity where subscribers can interact with the streamer in real-time.
In this series, Card Player offers an in-depth analysis of the key hands that catapulted a player to a top finish, online or live. We will also reveal key concepts and strategies from the world's best tournament players, as we venture inside their sometimes devious and always razor-sharp poker minds.

It was during this session that Dwan raked in $657,070 in one pot, setting the record for the biggest hand he'd ever won online. It was cause for major buzz on the online poker forums, but to Dwan, it was just part of another session.
