Michael Addamo shows why he is considered being the best tournament player in the world
Michael Addamo came, saw and conquered at the 2021 Poker Masters. The Australian poker superstar played only the two biggest buy-in events, a $50,000 and $100,000 NLH, and won both of them back-to-back!
First he took down Event #11: $50,000 NL Hold’em for $680,000 and also managed to grab the chip lead of 2021 Poker Masters $100,000 NLH on the same day.
There were only 5 players left and Addamo at the end of Day 1 and Addamo had built a massive chip lead with almost three times more chips than his closest competitor Nick Petrangelo.
Chip counts before the start of Poker Masters Event #12:
- Michael Addamo – 3,435,000
- Nick Petrangelo – 1,225,000
- Stanley Tang – 525,000
- Alex Foxen – 405,000
- Mikita Badziakouski – 215,000

And Addamo continued on the final day, where he left off on Day 1 eliminating all four of his opponents to claim not only a very well-deserved back-to-back victory, but also the Purple Jacket.
At the Poker Masters the Purple Jacket goes to the player, who collects the most leaderboard points.
“It was incredible. I had a great stretch of hands and I pretty much had it the whole time on the final table, so I can’t credit it to any good bluffing skills. Just good fortune.”
“You can see who has been putting in the work and who hasn’t”
Michael Addamo also stressed the importance of working on your game:
“It’s extremely important. I’ve put in so many hours studying the game, and I still feel like every time I get humbled and that there’s still so many things to learn. But it’s incredibly important and you can see who has been putting in the work and who hasn’t.”
