One of the top stacks for much of day 2, and with the defending champion – his own sister – on his rail throughout – Tou Xiong took down the 2015 Players Championship Series Main Event last weekend at Turlock Poker Room in central California.
The 253-entry main event field – with a $122,705 prize pool – took on a family-reunion feel to it as Xiong had his sister Mai – the 2014 PCS Main Event winner – his wife, his mother, brothers, sisters and more, 9 family in all on his rail as he worked his way patiently through the field to take down the $34,257 first prize.
