His first bracelet came at the 2013 WSOP Asia-Pacific in Melbourne, Australia, prevailing over a field of 1,085 and winning the $1,100 No Limit Hold'em Accumulator event for $211,575.[4] He added a second bracelet in a $500 No Limit Hold'em turbo event at the 2021 WSOP Online.
In 2016, Piccioli was chip leader after Day 4 of the WSOP Main Event before finishing in 84th place. The next year, he made the final table and finished in sixth place, earning $1,675,000.[5][6]
Piccioli has also made two final tables on the World Poker Tour, finishing in third place in the Bay 101 Shooting Star in March 2016 and sixth place in the Seminole Hard Rock Poker Finale a month later.[7]
