The article states,

"Miller, who earned degrees in physics and electrical engineering and computer science at MIT, worked for Microsoft after graduating from the Institute but quickly tired of corporate life and found solace in the challenge of teaching himself poker. He spent about six months learning—and losing—before it all clicked. He won around $6,000 two months in a row then promptly quit his job and moved to Sin City to pursue the game full time. After a year of professional play, Miller modified his career. 'Once I saw how hot poker was getting, I decided to make the transition from professional player to poker business person,' he says."
