WCOOP 108-M Main Event: Alejandro "Papo MC" Lococo’s Victory This past weekend, Alejandro "Papo MC" Lococo, known not only as a professional player but also as a popular rapper, added another prestigious trophy to his collection. After a strong showing at Triton Jeju II, where Lococo competed for a prize pool approaching a million dollars, he once again proved himself—this time in an online tournament. The WCOOP 108-M Main Event with a $1,050 buy-in attracted 2,310 entries, surpassing the $2,000,000 guarantee—the final prize pool exceeded $2,300,000. Lococo started the final day with the third-largest stack, trailing "calldeKhig" from Brazil and chip leader Jorge "jorginho88" Abreu from Portugal. However, early in the day, the Argentinian began building his stack, staying above average all the way to the final showdown. In heads-up play, Lococo faced "Goodarla" from Ireland with a significant chip advantage. In the decisive hand, both players went all-in preflop: Lococo showed Q♦4♠, while his opponent had 7♥10♥. The board didn’t improve either player, and Lococo secured the win, taking home the top prize of $343,242. He and his team celebrated the victory with the song "Campeon!" live on stream.
