It's all change at the top of the WCOOP League standings after an incredible night of action. Sunday saw Parker "tonkaaaa" Talbot score his second WCOOP title in four days, earning valuable WCOOP League points after leading home a Team tonkaaaa 1-2-3.

Finishing third in that event was Niklas "Lena900" Astedt and, perhaps reminded of his third-place finish this summer, he duly went out and went two places better — twice!

WCOOP League Standings

These two wins saw Team tonkaaaa pick up a whopping 460 points, enough to overtake Team peace&loove at the top of the standings. In fact, Teameasywithaces earned enough points thanks in part to Patrick "pads1161" Leonard's third-place finish in the World Championship of 6-Max, that they also overtook Team peace&loove who dropped to third place.

Meanwhile, Yuri "theNERDguy" Dzivielevski picked up valuable points for Team Aakkari, who moved clear of Team L. Veldhuis, thanks to Dzivielevski's ninth WCOOP title in WCOOP 39-M: $215 5-Card PLO for $19,144.

Team tonkaaaa - 2410 points (+460)
Team easywithaces - 2340 points (+395)
Team peace&loove - 2245 points (+220)
Team Aakkari - 2040 points (+345)
Team L. Veldhuis - 1820 points (+270)
Team Spraggy - 1160 points (+135)

Incredible Night for Astedt and Team tonkaaaa

The online legend was always going to be putting in volume, and has notched up several final table performances over the first week of WCOOP 2024. A seventh-place finish in Event 07-H on opening night, and of course the podium finish behind teammates Parker "tonkaaaa" Talbot and "ShipitFTW911" on Sunday night.

But Monday was something special for Astedt.

WCOOP 36-H: $1,050 NLHE [Sunday Kickoff] Final Table Results

Astedt kicked things off with victory in Event 36-H, defeating Juanki "B4NKR0LL3R" Vecino heads-up to win $47,687. Not only did Astedt win his fifth NLHE WCOOP title, but he also saw Team tonkaaaa member "ShipitFTW911" finish seventh to score yet more valuable points for his team.

WCOOP 39-H: $2,100 5-Card PLO [6-Max] Final Table Results

Having won his 12th WCOOP title on Saturday night, Denis "aDrENalin710" Strebkov was one place away from notching up another one and drawing level with Tobias "Senkel92" Leknes for second on the all-time list.

However, Astedt had other ideas and saw off Strebkov heads-up to win Event 39-H exactly 56 minutes after he won Event 36-H. WCOOP League Team captain Parker "tonkaaaa" Talbot finished 14th in the event.

"Lena900" WCOOP Titles

Unbelievably, it's the third year in a row that Astedt has won two WCOOP titles, bringing his tally to nine — the same number as SCOOP titles that he has won over his online career.
