Just because someone wins $600 doesn't mean their bankroll has to be $600. They could certainly spend $500 of it on themselves and the family and keep their bankroll at $100.
Do you really think Greg Raymer's poker bankroll is $5 million (well, whatever it came to after taxes)? I'm guessing it's not. I'm guessing he invested most of it and keeps a couple hundred thousand for his bankroll.
Pros who play for a living are constantly dipping into their bankrolls to pay bills, etc... There is no reason Brian couldn't/shouldn't do the exact same thing and play for fun.
