Pro gamers also get a monthly wage from their pro team. They don't live only on prize money
And the time frame is half a year.

Addtionally pro players also earn money with giving lessons for 50$/h

I have a good friend that I've known since we were kids. He's currently in college himself, but manages to pay all of his school/housing/food expenses by poker winnings alone. He's not a millionaire by any means, but I've seen first hand him taking in $40,000 in an online poker tournament. It's insane
