- Clips of the week
TONKAAAA SAVES THE DAY
May 9th was a great Sunday for PokerStars Ambassadors.
Sam āSamSquidā Grafton took down the High Roller Club: $1,050 Sunday Cooldown Turbo PKO for $19,768 ($7,940 plus $11,828 in bounties), but alas, heās yet to start streaming (hereās hoping he does soon).
Thankfully, Parker āTonkaaaaā Talbot was also crushing and recording every second for our visual entertainment.
Tonkaaaa not only took down the Hotter $109 for $5,898, he then went on to clinch victory in the fast-paced High Roller Club: $1,050 Sunday Supersonic Hyper, defeating 101 entries to win $24,518.
The Supersonic is often referred to as the āday saverā as it falls right at the end of the main Sunday schedule.
Itās never easy, of course. It never is when you have Niklas āLena900ā Astedt on the final table.
Sometimes the only way to knock down one of online pokerās all-time greats is to leave it to lady luck.
The ācall any/checkā didnāt quite get the job done. But with a massive chip lead, Tonkaaaa closed it out soon after.
Tonkaaaa also finished fourth in the $530 Sunday Marathon adding $2,651 to his Sunday winnings.
Same again this Sunday, fellas?
