Michael Addamo, largely absent from both live and online poker over the past two years, made a triumphant return by winning the $10,000 GGMillion$ High Roller on GGPoker for $423,610. The final table was streamed live with commentary from world champion Lucas Jumalon and GG ambassador Jeff Gross.
Addamo entered the event ranked third all-time in GGMillion$ earnings with over $8.6 million and eight titles, trailing leader Artur Martirosian’s $11.1 million and 13 wins. He wasted no time adding to his résumé, eliminating seven of the eight players he faced at the final table.
His run began with pocket kings against Guillaume Nolet’s top pair, a pivotal hand that vaulted Addamo near the chip lead. He continued to apply pressure, busting Nguyen Vi in ninth place and later benefiting from a lucky call against Aliaksandr Shylko’s dominating ace to send him out in eighth.
Despite a brief setback four-handed, when Nolet rivered a two to double through Addamo’s pocket aces, Addamo maintained control with over half the chips in play. He advanced past Xuanyi Wang before reaching heads-up against Pedro Neves.
Neves fought back from a steep deficit, doubling with a smaller pair and later trapping Addamo with pocket aces. Addamo’s 8-7 caught up on the river, pairing eights to end the tournament and secure his ninth GGMillion$ title.
Neves settled for second place and $326,647. Addamo, who also has over $24 million in live tournament earnings according to The Hendon Mob, showed no signs of rust despite his extended break from the felt.
