Sam Laskowitz transitioned from law to poker in 2022 and quickly became a top competitor on the high roller circuit. His journey includes major scores, a new family, and a deep commitment to improving his game. With over $3 million in cashes and a growing presence in elite tournaments, Laskowitz is chasing long-term consistency—and a WSOP bracelet.
Oh Baby! Sam Laskowitz Makes His Mark On The High Roller Scene
Sam Laskowitz, a former corporate lawyer from New York, has quickly risen through the poker ranks to become one of the game’s most promising high rollers. His breakout moment came at the 2022 WSOP Colossus, where he finished runner-up for $256,170—his very first live tournament bullet.
In early 2024, while leading a PokerGO Cup event, Laskowitz had to abandon his chip stack mid-tournament when his partner, poker pro Melissa Schubert, went into labor. He still cashed for $51,600 while racing to the hospital. Their son Dean was born healthy, marking a new chapter in both his personal and professional life.
Since going pro, Laskowitz has amassed over $3.3 million in winnings, with numerous final table appearances and multiple six-figure scores in events across Las Vegas. He credits his legal background for his ability to handle the pressure and embraces a work ethic centered around constant study and self-belief.
