Justin Bonomo (ZeeJustin) wins first bracelet

[simpdog]

Overcame a 4 to 1 chip deficit heads up to win.

Just one week after finishing 2nd in the $10k 2-7 limit

Bonomo made it 75,000 and Sowers raised it up to 230,000. Bonomo made the call and they were treated to a {j-Clubs}{3-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds} flop. Sowers bet 260,000, Bonomo called and off to the turn they went. Sowers fired again at the {7-Spades}, making it 510,000, but Bonomo would not go away.
The river brought the {4-Spades} and Sowers moved in, only to see Bonomo had hit the river hard, turning {a-Diamonds}{5-Spades} into a wheel. Sowers had flopped two pair with {j-Hearts}{2-Hearts}, but it was not nearly enough and he was left with just 25,000 in chips.

He made it interesting, doubling up countless times over the next 19 hands. On the 20th, Sowers pushed in against Bonomo’s flopped flush and got no help on the turn and river.

Less than one week removed from a heartbreaking second-place finish in the $10,000 Limit 2-7 Triple Draw, Justin Bonomo had earned his first World Series of Poker Bracelet and close to a half million dollars.

LOL gutterball.

I was hoping Bonomo would be cursed forever after his multi-accounting shenanigans.

I did my part in denying him last year at the $10k limit event, when he made the final table along with me. I beat him with 44 vs JJ when a 4 flopped. He was crippled after that hand (he was already short before it), and he busted very soon after.

Good series so far for the Magic crowd.

Brock Parker won a bracelet yesterday.

Is David Williams next?

Vanessa Selbst and Ted Forrest won bracelets so far too.
