Daniel 'Ansky' Stern's Journey: From Poker Fame to Fatherhood Challenges


Daniel 'Ansky' Stern, known as 'Ansky,' gained fame through the online reality show 2 Months 2 Million. During the show, Stern lived with friends Jay Rosenkranz, Brian Roberts, and Emil Patel, aiming to win $2 million but only earning $676,700. The team's goal was to grind online poker, which was still legal in the USA at the time.

Stern is a cash game player with over $3.6 million in prize money on Hendon Mob. He left poker in late 2017 after losing $777,000 on high stakes at PokerStars. Despite his poker career, Stern's life took a challenging turn when his daughter Chloe faced serious health issues from birth. Chloe had stenosis of the pulmonary trunk, heart murmurs, and other complications. Her health issues required immediate hospitalization and extensive medical care.

Chloe was diagnosed with a high level of calcium in her blood, which required immediate hospitalization. She was hospitalized at Rush University Medical Center for further tests and treatment. Doctors suspected Chloe might have Williams syndrome, a genetic disorder that can cause various health problems. The family's journey has been challenging, but they remain hopeful for Chloe's recovery.

I've spent years at the tables — cash and tournaments — and just as long shaping poker copy behind the scenes: room reviews, bonus fine print, tournament notes. At PokerInsider I write the way I wish more sites would: clear structure, honest trade-offs, no hype. Whether you're new or already grinding, I care about what the offer actually costs you — rake, variance, and the fine print — and I treat responsible play as part of the job, not a footnote.
