Last Thursday, Parker "tonkaaaa" Talbot clinched his fifth World Championship of Online Poker (WCOOP) title with a win in the HORSE Championship. His stay in the five-time winner's club was brief—lasting just four days—before Talbot captured yet another WCOOP victory.

The WCOOP League captain had even more reasons to celebrate as teammates "ShipitFTW911" and Niklas "Lena900" Astedt joined him on the podium in WCOOP 32-H: $1,050 NLHE [Progressive KO, Saturday KO]. Team tonkaaaa's impressive one-two-three finish propelled them into second place on the leaderboard, overtaking Team easywithaces. Team peace&loove remained the team to catch over the weekend, as Sebastian "peace&loove" Huber's side kept their position at the top but can undoubtedly feel the heat that Team tonkaaaa has brought over the last few days.
In other WCOOP highlights from Sunday, undrafted Joao "Naza114" Vieira entered the WCOOP winner's circle for the 11th time in his career, after a standout performance in the star-studded WCOOP 34-H: $2,100 NLHE [Turbo].
The double elimination "BRzRoll" and "dujo123" by "Dimisi777" meant the final table started with eight players. Talbot entered as the chip leader but was even more delighted that two of his teammates joined him at the FT.
The first elimination didn't take long as "Manolo Poppe" despatched short stack "Grazza" in the first few hands. They then flipped 2024 EPT Monte Carlo Main Event seventh-place finisher Jonathan "johnyguedes1" Guedes to the wrong side of the rail with pocket jacks.
"ShipitFTW911" then found jacks to bust Dean "DeanoSupremo" Lyall, with Talbot cheering on from the sidelines despite his friendship with Lyall.
"Oh s***, oh s***! Hold for Shipit. I do love Deano but he's on my team. Don't do it. Nice dude," commentated Talbot as the board ran out.
Final table action begins at 02:49:17
Talbot started to distance himself from the field during five-handed play, solidifying his lead when his Big Slick took down "Dimisi777." Shortly after, he further tightened his grip on the title by stacking "Manolo Poppe."
"Yes, dude, I got three! All three of us are top three!" gushed Tablot as he salivated at the thought of all those WCOOP points.
"ShipitFTW911" kicked off the friendly fire by flushing out Astedt in third place, setting up a heads-up battle with Talbot, who held a commanding 3:1 chip lead. Despite the Swedish player's efforts to turn the tide, Talbot stood his ground, giving nothing away. In the final hand, Talbot flopped a pair of aces, while "ShipitFTW911" hit a pair of sevens. After Talbot shoved on the river, "ShipitFTW911" made a hero call for his tournament life, only to see the pot and the title slide over to his captain.
"Damn bro, that's pretty f Add to cart
