Dan "Dr Dad 1819" Schill Claims a Title
In the merged market of New Jersey and Michigan, ��Zlajamiest�� was the lucky winner of the July 23 $5 buy-in $550 Summer Series Package, so they will be headed to Philadelphia next month.

First, they topped a field of 383 entries to win Event #1: $10 NLHE [PLE/PLO Mix - PLO Warmup], $1K Gtd for $631.88, and then the following day bested 153 runners to win Sunset Series 4: $30 PLO [PLO 4-Max], $2K Gtd for $850.51.

A biomedical researcher at the University of Michigan, Schill studies bipolar disorder as his day job. When he��s not busy putting his doctorate in cell and developmental biology to use, the 32-year-old father can often be found streaming his online poker play on Twitch.
As for his screen name, 1819 is a combination of two years �C 2018 when he received his Ph.D. and 2019 when his son was born.
It��s not the first time he��s found success on PokerStars USA. In April 2022, he won the SCOOP Event #32-M: $50 NLH for $1,928, and in May 2022 finished second in a $250 PokerStars High Roller for $4,324.
��Winning my first series event on PokerStars Michigan during SCOOP this year really stands out to me,�� Schill told US Poker at the time. ��I do a majority of my volume on PokerStars, so it was awesome to get a series win there and get in a Tweet from the official PokerStars USA account.��
