Michael Addamo is on an unbelievable hot streak, leaving some of the best players in the world in his wake as he secures multiple huge titles and millions upon millions in tournament earnings along the way.
The 27-year-old Australian poker pro took down back-to-back events at the end of the Poker Masters to earn over $1.8 million and secure the Purple Jacket in mid-September.

The cash was also enough to see him surpass 2005 World Series of Poker main event champion Joe Hachem ($12.4 million) to become Australia’s live tournament earnings leader.
The final table began on the bubble with just five players battling for the final three spots in the money. With a buy-in of $300,000, there ended up being a seven-figure difference ($1,008,000 to be exact) between finishing fourth in this event and making the final three. Addamo held the […]
