Following the closure of the GDC in 2009, Pein returned to the BDO circuit where he played before qualifying for the PDC World Championship. He attempted to qualify for the 2010 BDO World Darts Championship but lost out in the earlier rounds. He did however win the Austrian Open title for a second time having first won the title in 2005.
