I'm sure he's a great player etc. but something is off here. If he's made 3 million over last 3 years, and makes 80k/mo, there's no way he walks away.

I haven't even read the article but I can tell you that there is a VERY good chance that if I made $3-mil in 3 yrs grinding it out at the high-stakes I would be extremely likely to walk away and find something else to do with my time and my money.
I might play the occasional land-based tourney or something.
But sitting at home clicking buttons all day, when you already have $3-million, isn't exactly the most worthwhile of existences.

Some people just aren't as attracted to poker as others. And some of these people are still motivated enough to get good at it even if they find it somewhat boring.
