Alejandro “[Papo]AR” Lococo won the WCOOP 108-M: $1,050 NLHE Main Event on PokerStars, taking the title and $343,242 first prize. The Argentinian defeated Ireland-based “Goodarla” heads-up when his queen-four held against ten-seven. Lococo entered the final table third in chips behind Brazil’s “calldeKhig” and Portugal’s Jorge “jorginho88” Abreu but built a decisive lead by heads-up play.
Lococo, fresh from a near-million dollar chase at Triton Jeju II, saw his stream viewers watch the final hand. He and his team celebrated by singing “Campeon!” upon victory. The event drew 2,310 entries to create a prize pool of more than $2.3 million, exceeding its $2,000,000 guarantee.

Boianovsky overcame start-of-day chip leads held by Dante “dantegoyaF” Goya, Thomas “MarToMchat” Boivin and Pablo “pabritz” Brito Silva. The win adds to his June 2023 SCOOP $10,300 Main Event victory worth $1,036,200.
