Traditionally, the poker scene revolved around older men, especially around the beginning of the WSOP era in the 70s. The average age of poker pros gradually got younger as it got more popular in the 80s and 90s, and even more so after the Poker boom in the 00s and emergence and popularity of online poker in the late 00's and 10's.

Today, it seems a lot of poker pros started learning pretty young in their early 20s or even teens, and really began to study poker. I've even watch some streams where there was one person who was in their 40s or 50s, and they are considered the "old person" at the table. Although, poker is a great game that can be enjoyed and played by anyone at any age (with the exception of casino games being 18+ or 21+ of course, depending on where you live).

So, my question is - who are some of today's poker pros that are in their 40s or 50s that didn't become a pro until they hit their late 30s, 40s, or 50s?
I'm not talking about Phil Hellmuth or Daniel Negreanu who have been pros for decades. I'm talking about those in their 40s and 50s that recently became poker pros and have been hitting the tournament circuits. Those that, by today's standards, might be considered "late bloomers."
