At the start of the last decade, few players had as much success as Sam Stein.
In 2010, he broke out with more than $900K in live tournament winnings, and the following year enjoyed a career-year with $2,151,460 in winnings.
He proceeded to notch six-figure years from 2012-16, but ever since then, he's largely disappeared from the poker spotlight.
PokerNews recently reconnected with Stein, who began playing poker in 2003, to learn where he's been these past few years.
Starting a Family
Like so many players of his generation, Stein entered the world of fatherhood, which understandably impacted his poker schedule.
