Lococo won $1,225,000 in 2021 after he finished 7th in the WSOP Main Event to take his total WSOP earnings to $1,233,114. His only cash at the series before the score was for $3,654 in 2019's Event #82: $1,500 No-Limit Hold'em Double Stack where he finished in 107th place.

Lococo's road to the Main Event Final Table was fairly comfortable, the player bagged 803,000 chips on Day 3 which put him in the top 11% of chip stacks. By the end of Day 7, he would have a stack of 83.7 million making him the second-highest chip stack at the final table.

Lococo would eventually bow out after colliding with German pro Koray Aldemir.

Lococo raised to 2,000,000, and Aldemir three-bet to 5,600,000 in the cutoff. The call by Lococo after 39 seconds followed and the J♥J♣9♣ flop appeared, which Lococo checked. Aldemir made it 3,900,000 to go and Lococo came along to the 8♥ turn.

Another quick check by Lococo followed, and Aldemir now fired a larger bet worth 11,400,000, which Lococo called once more. The Argentinian checked the 3♦ river in an instant, and Aldemir took one minute and 33 seconds before firing a large bet for more than the pot.

Within just 14 seconds, Lococo called all-in for the 46,100,000 he had behind, and Aldemir tabled the 9♥9♦ for nines full of jacks. Lococo's 10♣10♠ went down in flames, and the Argentinian was eliminated.

At the 2024 WSOP Paradise, Lococo was one of 96 entrants in the $1,000,000 buy-in Triton Million. After three days of intense poker, Lococo emerged victoriously, defeating Benjamin Heath heads-up to claim a $12,070,000 top prize and his first WSOP bracelet.
