Published on February 15th, 2019 4:16 pm EST

Earlier today, Parker "tonkaaaap" Talbot, one of the most popular poker streamers on Twitch.tv, announced that he and 888 Poker had parted ways after two years.

In January of 2017, 888 Poker announced that they had signed Talbot to become one of their Ambassadors. Talbot represented 888 Poker well during his two years with the company, as he was able to put up some big scores, both on the live tournament circuit and online.

Talbot has had some big scores as of late, including chopping the "Sunday Million" on Pokerstars and collecting $203,626 for a sixth place finish in the EPT Prague main event.

Over the past couple of weeks, Talbot, Jaime Staples and Jeff Gross have all announced that they are parting ways with their sponsors, as Talbot left 888 Poker and both Staples and Gross parted ways with Pokerstars.

Talbot would surely be a valuable asset for the likes of partypoker or Pokerstars, as he is one of the most popular poker streamers in the world. Talbot's streams usually have thousands of simultaneous viewers.

In the end, Talbot has enjoyed a great deal of success as of late and seems to want to take a bit of a break from the grind.
