The titles keep coming for Parker “tonkaaaa” Talbot in the 2024 World Championship of Online Poker (WCOOP) after the PokerStars Ambassador picked up his fourth of the series last night.
His victory in Event 85-M secured him $6,392 and the eighth WCOOP title of his career, drawing him level with Shaun “shaundeeb” Deeb and Rui “RuiNF” Ferreira in the all-time standings.
However, it still wasn’t enough for his WCOOP League team to put a dent in Team peace&loove, who narrowly extended their lead over Team tonkaaaa at the top of the counts.
Four WCOOP Titles in One Year for Talbot
After a third-place finishing Event 77-H, Parker “tonkaaaa” Talbot topped a 158-player field to win his fourth WCOOP title of the year in 2-7 Triple Draw, defeating Terrence “Unassigned” Chan heads-up to win $6,392.
PokerStars Ambassador Georgina “GJReggie” James and Overall leaderboard contender Blaz “Scarmak3r” Zerjav both finished in the money, as well as WCOOP League draftees Kelvin “Kelvin_FP:AR” Kerber, Jerry “Perrymejsen” Odeen, “king153246” and Yuri “theNERDguy” Dzivielevski.
No other WCOOP League draftees made it to the final table of six, with Team peace&loove’s “FAL1st” missing out in seventh, as Talbot went on to secure victory.

Team peace&loove Misses Out as “sandman201” wins WCOOP 8-Game Championship
One of the reasons why Talbot’s fourth victory didn’t lead to Team tonkaaaa making any WCOOP League inroads was down to a stellar performance from Team peace&loove in the WCOOP 8-Game Championship.
Nine players had made it through to the final table of the event, which attracted 623 entries, and three WCOOP League teams had a presence.
Team tonkaaaa’s hopes of picking up another title last night were dashed after “ShipitFTW911” was eliminated in eighth place.
“FAL1st” has been in incredible form this WCOOP, but could only manage fourth before Lex “L. Veldhuis” Veldhuis was eliminated in third-place. The start-of-day chip leader battled hard for a third-place finish for $18,455.
Battling for the title was “sandman201” and Team peace&loove’s other player “king153246”, but eventually “sandman201” came out on top for the third WCOOP title of their career and their first since 2019.
