Dominik Nitsche
Dominik Nitsche

Dominik Nitsche announced pot from under the gun, raising to 13,000. Max Silver called on the button. The flop came {2-Spades}{j-Hearts}{4-Clubs} and Nitsche bet 25,500. Silver folded {a-Diamonds}{k-Spades}{q-Diamonds} face up.

Then, on a {k-Clubs}{3-Spades}{8-Clubs} flop, Nitsche checked to Alexander Uskov who bet 16,000. Nitsche check-raised to 55,500. Uskov raised and the two got their stacks in.

Dominik Nitsche: {k-Spades}{8-Hearts}{q-Hearts}{10-Spades}
Alexander Uskov: {a-Clubs}{a-Hearts}{7-Clubs}{5-Clubs}

The turn {q-Spades} and river {10-Diamonds} changed nothing and Nitsche doubled up.

From Macau to Monaco — for only $3

Level 11 : 1,200/2,400, 0 ante
Sio Hong Si
Sio Hong Si

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. Si lives in Macau, where he works as an activity coordinator and enjoys playing basketball. A year ago his friends got him into poker through a home game. He took to it quickly and began watching live streams from every EPT stop.
