Kevin Martin is a Canadian poker player who first appeared on reality TV series Big Brother Canada. Originally from Calgary, Martin is best known as one of the earliest adopters of the Twitch platform, having streamed his play since 2015.
Martin can be seen on the first season of GGPoker's Game of Gold, a poker reality competition on the GGPoker YouTube channel.
He is currently a member of the GGSquad on GGPoker, having joined in October 2020.
Background
After appearing on Big Brother, Martin originally signed as a member of Team PokerStars Pro Online in May 2016. During this time he racked up over $200K in live cashes included four tournament wins in Calgary and his biggest-ever live cash of $48,210 for finishing runner-up in the Run It Up Reno VII Main Event before quitting in 2019.
After a short break, Martin joined partypoker Team Online but resigned just four months later.
That was until October 2020, when he joined GGPoker as a member of their new GGSquad.
As a member of GGSquad and a veteran of Canadian Big Brother, he was a natural pick to be a contestant on the first season of Game of Gold. Unfortunately, his team lost the first contest and he was eliminated along with Daniel Negreanu, Michael Soyza, and Jason Koon at the end of the first week of the show.
