Tonkaaaa Doubles Up, Takes Second Career SCOOP Title
Parker "tonkaaaa" Talbot is back in the winner’s circle, locking up his second career SCOOP title with a win in SCOOP 68-H: $530 FLHE, good for $9,027.
The PokerStars Team Captain delivered some much-needed points in the race to catch Team Spraggy, navigating a 47-player field and defeating British-based "H4nkH1ll" heads-up to claim the lion’s share of the $23,500 prize pool.
Tonka’s first SCOOP win came in SCOOP 113-H: $530 NLHE back in 2024, and, as fate would have it, that same day as certain Simon "C. Darwin2" Mattsson also won his ninth title. One year later, history has repeated itself. Talbot gets his second, Mattsson grabs number 13. Sometimes, the poker gods really do love a storyline.
Elsewhere in the event, "king153246" kept his series sunrun going with yet another final table appearance, while Benny "RunGodlike" Glaser fell just short in 11th and Patrick "pads1161" Leonard finished 16th.
