The mystery is over. The Argentine Alejandro Lococo
The Mar del Plata native confirmed it through his social networks with a video in which he appears signing the agreement and showing his new team to start a new stage in his professional poker career.
The video, moreover, takes a direct shot at PokerStars, as Lococo himself had said that the reason for his split with the red spade room was because “they expected me to apologize for something I didn’t do under the banner of bureaucracy”.
Papo MC’s official announcement
Lococo shared the announcement on both Instagram and X, where he quickly received thousands of reactions from poker fans and followers of his freestyle career.
With this message, the Argentine confirmed his arrival at the CoinPoker professional team and put an end to several months of speculation about which platform he would represent.
His departure from PokerStars and months as a free agent
The news comes a few months after Lococo confirmed that he would not renew his contract with PokerStars, an agreement that had made him one of the most visible faces of the brand in Latin America.

At the beginning of this year, the player himself explained that they had not reached an agreement to extend the bond, so he remained a free agent and open to hearing proposals from other rooms.
At that time, there was even speculation about what his next destination within the industry would be, something that Papo himself had hinted at by stating that he had already decided on the room he was going to represent, although he could not yet make it public.

One of the biggest figures in Latin poker
In addition to his career as a benchmark of Argentine freestyle, Lococo has become one of the most recognized players in Latin poker in recent years.
His most important achievement came with his historic victory in the Triton Million during the WSOP Paradise 2024 festival, where he secured a prize of US$12.070.000, one of the largest payouts in history for a Latin American player.
To that result is also added his memorable final table in the Main Event of the World Series of Poker 2021, where he finished seventh among thousands of players and exceeded one million dollars in prizes.
Now, with his joining CoinPoker, Papo MC begins a new chapter in his career as an ambassador of a room that continues to bet heavily on adding recognized figures from the international circuit. The Beast of Hardcore already has a new patch… and everything indicates that there are still many important hands to play.
