Biography

Michael Addamo is an Australian poker player and four-time World Series of Poker (WSOP) bracelet winner. He is also a former WPT World Online Championships Super High Roller (2021), Super High Roller Bowl (2021) and Poker Masters (2021) champion. As of December 2021, he has amassed over $17.7 million in lifetime earnings and is top of the Australian all-time money list.

Early Poker Achievements

During the early 2010s, most of Addamo’s cashes came in A$200 weekly tournaments at the Crown Casino, Melbourne in his native Australia. The biggest cash of his early career came in the 2015 Aussie Millions Main Event, where he finished 21st for A$40,000 (~$31,605). His first cash outside of Australia came later that year, cashing in the APPT Asia Championship of Poker in Macau.

Starting to Travel

Addamo’s first trip to the World Series of Poker (WSOP) came in 2016. After a min-cash in the Colossus, he registered a third-place finish in a $1,500 NLHE event for $196,202 and his WSOP career was up and running. In total, Addamo would cash seven times at the 2016 WSOP for almost $250,000. After returning to Australia briefly, Addamo travelled to Europe for the first time. He cashed in the EPT Barcelona Main Event and in the EPT Prague High Roller. After narrowly missing out on a first Aussie Millions ring, in 2017 he travelled to Macau once again to play in the PokerStars Championship Macau, winning a side event for $196,000. Addamo would cash nine times at the 2017 WSOP, including a third-place finish in a $333 WSOP.com Online Event. After trips to Macau and Barcelona in 2018, Addamo would head once again to the WSOP. In previous years, he had quickly got up and running, and that proved the case this time as he defeated a field of 1,637 players to win Event #24: $2,620 MARATHON No-Limit Hold’em for $653,581. Michael-Addamo

The High Roller World

Addamo would travel to the World Series of Poker Europe (WSOPE) in 2018, and grab a second bracelet in the 25,500 High Roller for 848,702 ($973,360). He would also final table the Super HIgh Roller, finishing eighth for an additional 264,110 ($300,000). As a result, the Australian would begin firing /$25,000 tournaments more regularly, cashing three times at EPT Prague in 2018 including two single day 25,000 tournaments for over $300k. A 17th place finish in the Aussie Millions Main event would kickstart his 2019, before a Spring spent playing at EPT Monte Carlo and Triton Jeju, South Korea. The summer saw Addamo fire ARIA $10,000 High Rollers against the best in the world winning two of them and he also found time for a third-place finish in the WSOP $50,000. Six-figure cashes would follow at the partypoker MILLIONS Europe and EPT Barcelona to round out 2019. In 2020, Addamo finally got his hands on an Aussie Millions ring, winning the $50K Challenge, before winning a $100,000 title at the 2020 Australian Poker Open.

Pandemic and Online Sucess

The COVID-19 pandemic saw many of the world’s most recognisable poker tours move online, with players adjusting to the new normal when it came to grinding poker tournaments. Addamo seemed to flourish when it came to online. He helped himself to Super High Roller Bowl Online and Poker Masters Online titles, and narrowly missed out on a third WSOP bracelet after finishing runner-up the GGPoker WSOP Online $ 10,000 Heads Up No Limit Hold’em Championship. Read More: Seven Great Hands from the Super High Roller Bowl Online Heads Up The World Poker Tour World Online Championships came to partypoker in 2020, with Addamo clinching victory in the $100,000 Super High Roller. Six months later it was the MILLIONS Online on partypoker, with Addamo triumphing yet again in the $102,000 Mega High Roller. Away from partypoker, Addamo also found time to win four Super MILLION$ titles on GGPoker, and also lose the biggest-ever online No-Limit Hold’em cash game pot in history!

Return to Live

2021 saw the return of live poker, with Addamo flourishing with the return of the Poker Masters. Two back-to-back victories for over $1.8 million saw him win the Purple Jacket. And less than two weeks later, Addamo added yet another high-profile victory to his poker resume, winning the Super High Roller Bowl for $3.4 million. However, Addamo was only getting started with a third and fourth WSOP bracelet coming later that year. He first wonEvent #38: $50K High Roller for $1,132,968, and followed that up with victory in Event #87: $100,000 High Roller No-Limit Holdem for an additional $1,958,569.

Biography Teun Mulder is a Dutch professional poker player, not to be confused with the Netherlands’ world champion cyclist of the same name. Mulder has more than $6 million in online poker tournament winnings, the bulk of which stems from his play at PokerStars, where he is known as “tinnoemulder.” Mulder has online poker tournament cashes dating back to 2013 but it is in recent years where the Dutchman’s skills have been there for all to see. In 2020, Mulder won a $10,300 Spring Championship Of Online Poker (SCOOP) event for $113,785, a $5,200 Blowout Series title for $211,740, and was the third-place finisher in the $5,200 World Championship Of Online Poker (WCOOP) for a career-best $762,169. He added a second SCOOP title to his long list of poker accomplishments in 2021, taking down the $5,200 High Roller for $247,089. Mulder’s first recorded live cash came in August 2017 when he finished fourth in the 1,650 WSOPC Rotterdam Main Event for 31,214. Although Mulder does not play all that many live events, his results are incredible. At the time of writing, nine of Mulder’s 35 live scores are worth six figures or more (he has two hauls of more than $1 million). In 2020, Mulder finished second in the online edition of the $10,300 WPT World Championship Main Event at PartyPoker for $1,231,600, which remained his best-ever score for only two years. In 2022, Mulder won a 25,000 High Roller at EPT Prague for 250,928 and followed that up with a seventh-place finish in the 5,300 EPT Prague Main Event a few days later for an additional 138,750. Less than a month later, Mulder won a $100,000 buy-in event at the Triton Poker Cyprus festival for a massive $1,940,000. The future is bright for this flying Dutchman.

Mike Matusow Mike Matusow poker player profile. Get latest information, winnings and gallery.

Biography Never one to crawl into a shell at the table, Mike The Mouth Matusow got his nickname for his reputation of talking trash at the poker table. Of these well-known rants, Matusows most famous incident might be when he berated eventual champion Greg Raymer in the 2004 Main Event. Matusow took up poker at a young age when a friend introduced him to the game just before the 1990s. The game would soon become more and more serious for him. He took up a job as a poker dealer where he was able to pick up on various strategies and watch others play hand after hand, which helped him greatly. Following dealing, Mike took up the game professionally and never looked back. Everyone may remember that Scotty Nguyen won the 1998 WSOP Main Event for a cool $1 million. If you watch the footage of the event, youll see Mike Matusow rooting Scotty on from the rail. The Mouth paid one-third of Scottys satellite buy-in, which he ended up parlaying into an overall victory in the Main Event. For this, Matusow was given a third of Nguyens winnings. One year later, Matusow would win his first bracelet. He followed that up the next year with some more WSOP cashes before making a very deep run at the 2001 Main Event. He placed sixth and earned almost $240,000. In 2002, Matusow won his second bracelet and in 2005 he made another deep run in the Main Event. This time around, he finish was slightly worse when he placed ninth, but it was worth more than four times what he earned in his previous Main Event final table. He took home $1 million. Later that same year, the WSOP Tournament of Champions was held and Matusow won the event for another $1 million. He would eventually win his third bracelet in 2008, cashing multiple other times along the way. The Mouth also has made a few WPT final tables. Hes cashed in many other events, some of which include the National Heads-Up Poker Championship, the Aruba Classic, and the Wynn Classic. Matusow has also been featured on High Stakes Poker and is a regular fixture on Poker After Dark, which he won once.
