Jens Knossalla Sets New Poker Streaming Record on Twitch with 91,680 Viewers

In 2020, the popularity of poker streams on Twitch skyrocketed, with viewership numbers continually breaking records. In May 2020, Leks Veldhuis set a record for the most viewers during a poker stream on Twitch with 58,416 viewers. This occurred during his broadcast of the Main Event of SCOOP 2020.

However, this record was short-lived. In August 2020, Jens Knossalla set a new record for the most viewers during a poker stream on Twitch with 91,680 viewers. Knossalla's friend participated in the Stadium Series tournament for $1,050 and became the runner-up, winning $117,400 in prize money. Knossalla, known for his popularity as a German TV host and owner of popular channels on Twitch and YouTube, broadcasted the entire event live on Twitch.

Knossalla's achievement is particularly notable because he is not primarily known for his poker skills. His popularity as a TV host and content creator likely contributed to the massive viewership numbers. With millions of subscribers across his platforms, Knossalla's foray into poker streaming has been remarkably successful, and it remains to be seen whether he will continue to explore poker streaming in the future.
