Parker Talbot Finally Nails First Live Poker Win at 2024 Irish Open
Level 6
: Blinds 200/500, 500 ante
In a poetic twist reminiscent of the lyrics from the late Sinead O'Connor's "Nothing Compares 2 U," the poker community witnessed a remarkable milestone at the 2024 Irish Open as PokerStars ambassador Parker Talbot claimed his inaugural live poker tournament victory. Just as the song's melancholic protagonist endured "seven hours and fifteen days" of heartache, Talbot's journey to triumph spanned a remarkable 4,363 days since his first-ever cash on the live felt.
Talbot removed the monkey from his back in the Luxon Pay €5,000 High Roller 8-Max, besting the 111-entry field that featured a stacked final table that included the likes of 2023 WSOP Online Main Event champion Bert Stevens and 2023 EPT Prague Main Event winner Padraig O'Neill.
