Talbot Joins the Five-Time WCOOP Winner's Club
What do Dan “djk123” Kelly, Andrey "Kroko-dill" Zaichenko, Connor "blanconegro" Drinan, Andrey "Premove" Skvortsov, Andras "probirs" Nemeth, Talal "raidalot" Shakerchi, "nilsef," and "roo_400" have in common? They’re all five-time World Championship of Online Poker (WCOOP) champions.
Now, you can add Talbot to that exclusive club, as he claimed his fifth title by winning the WCOOP $1,050 World Championship of HORSE.
Talbot, who has secured a WCOOP title every year since 2020, triumphed over an 88-entry field to claim the top prize of $21,904 from the $88,000 prize pool.
Entering the final day in fourth place among the 11 remaining players, Talbot skillfully navigated a star-studded final table. Four-time WCOOP champion "Dainiux" was the first to fall, securing $4,200 for a seventh-place finish, while "llanboy23" bowed out in sixth.
Facing tough competition—including Geraldo Cesar "geraldocesar" Neto, "Dosenpfand," "gangstachel9," and "huiiiiiiiiii," all previous WCOOP titleholders—none could halt Talbot's march to victory.
