A total of 337 players returned today to the Salle Des Étoiles here at Sporting Club Monte-Carlo for Day 2 of the EPT Monte Carlo Main Event. Of everyone in the room, nobody had fewer chips than Sio Hong Si. But that didn’t bother him in the least.
Just as Si’s short stack set him apart from the rest of the field, his journey here was unique among the competitors here in Monaco.
