Michael Addamo Bags $88K Score in the PokerStars WCOOP Boot Camp
Australian superstar Michael “imluckbox” Addamo helped himself to an $87,884 payday this weekend by triumphing in the WCOOP Boot Camp edition of the $5,200 No-Limit Hold’em Titans Event at PokerStars. The United Kingdom-based high-stakes guru came out on top of a 50-strong crowd and raked in the largest slice of the $250,000 prize pool.
The compact field meant only the top six finishers received prize money, with Brazilian Pedro “pvigar” Garagnani falling in seventh place, bursting the money bubble and locking in at least $13,223 for the surviving players.
Sixth place and $13,223 went to “234241234214432.” The number-loving Ukrainian later finished third in a $530 No-Limit Hold’em PKO event for an additional $12,097.
Canada’s “aminolast” fell in fifth for $19,313 before Yuri “theNERDguy” Dzivielevski busted in fourth for a payout worth $28,207.
The tournament progressed to the heads-up stage when Benjamin “bencb789” Rolle, showing as playing from Bulgaria, was relieved of his stack Rolle’s third-place finish came with a respectable $41,198.
Heads-up pitted Addamo against Swedish legend Simon “C. Darwin2” Mattsson. Neither player was interested in striking a deal, so the one-on-one battle played out without any negotiations taking place resulting in what was essentially a $27.5K heads-up clash.
After much toing and froing, Addamo came out on top to clinch the $87,884 top prize, resigning his Swedish opponent to a $60,172 consolation prize.

Segebrecht Pads His Bankroll With $27.9K as Spraggy Falls in Fifth
Some 321 players turned out for the $530 No-Limit Hold’em PKO WCOOP Boot Camp event, creating a guarantee-busting $160,500 prize pool. As was to be expected, the final table was a star-studded affair, with one such star, Claas “SsicK_OnE” Segebrecht, coming out on top.
Seven players were left after the untimely demises of Estonia’s “PIPON777” and Luciano “Piaggesi” Piaggesi of Argentina. Those seven became six when the 2024 World Series of Poker (WSOP) Main Event third-place finisher Niklas “Lena900” Astedt bowed out.
Paul “_pauL€FauL_” Hoefer, who was part of theSCOOP League earlier this year, crashed out in sixth before Team PokerStars’ Benjamin “Spraggy” Spragg ran out of steam in fifth, a finish worth $8,079.
Astedt’s fellow Swede, Dundermasen, fell in fourth, with the previously mentioned “234241234214432” seeing their latest deep run end in a third-place exit.
Segebrecht found himself heads-up against the United Kingdom’s “MFC_79,” with both players securing $12,940 from the main prize pool, leaving the final progressive bounties to play for. Segebrecht defeated his final opponent and added $14,947 worth of bounties to his haul for a combined prize worth $27,914; “MFC_79” reeled in $22,027 for their bridesmaid finish.
