Final Table Bios: Seat 2 - Sam Stein (6,145,000) | 2010 NAPT Venetian

Sam Stein is a confident 22-year-old professional poker player, who came up through the online ranks and began trying his luck in the brick and mortar world as soon as he turned 21. Since then, he’s managed to collect more than $400,000 in career tournament earnings; not bad for a single year on the circuit. Stein’s most recent live cash occurred last month down at the PokerStars.net Caribbean Adventure, where he finished runner-up in a $5,000 buy-in no limit hold’em side event, good for a $168,390 payday. Stein grew up in Los Angeles, but currently resides in Henderson, Nevada – just outside Las Vegas. He’s been playing poker for four years and enters most major events with buy-ins of $5,000 or higher. The youngster is excited about the opportunity to add yet another big score to his tournament resume, and he has good reason to be; when play starts tomorrow afternoon, no one will begin with more chips than Stein’s field-leading 6,145,000 in chips.
