Justin Bonomo Wins European Poker Tour Grand Final €100,000 Buy-In Super High Roller

Justin Bonomo

Bonomo entered the final table of eight with an overwhelming chiplead, holding roughly 41 percent of the total chips in the play. He utilized his chip advantage, knocking out five opponents on his way to the title.

Only six players made the money, and the unfortunate player to bust on the €310,000 bubble was Jonathan Duhamel. The 2010 WSOP main event champ is currently ranked fourth in the Player of the Year standings, with six prior final table finishes and $1,345,366 in earnings. Eugene Katchalov also made the final table but not the money, finishing in eighth.

Daniel Negreanu was the first player to bust in the money, earning €310,000 ($409,727) after his AK failed to outrace Bonomo’s pocket tens. With this win, Negreanu’s lifetime earnings have surpassed the $15.3 million mark. Masa Kagawa chopped out of the tournament when he got all-in with the KQ against Bonomo and Reinkemeier, who both held pocket jacks. Kagawa was not able to hit one of his overcards, and was sent to the rail with €354,000 ($468,543) worth of consolation.

As a result of all of his bustouts, Bonomo took his sizable lead into heads-up play, where he ultimately defeated Tobias Reinkemeier with his AQ winning the decisive race against Reinkemeier’s 44. The board ran out AK5107, sending Reinkemeier to the rail as the second-place finisher with €1,064,000 ($1,406,289).
