American Justin Bonomo Wins Big One for One Drop $1 million Buy-In Charity Poker Tournament


32-Year-Old Wins $10,000,000 and Special Diamond Bracelet at Rio Las Vegas

LAS VEGAS (July 17, 2018) – The fourth iteration of the Big One for One Drop, featured 27 players each ponying up the $1 million buy-in and after three days of play, American poker professional Justin Bonomo was the victor, winning the $10,000,000 first place prize, plus a diamond-encrusted bracelet presented by Jostens at the Rio All-Suite Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas late Tuesday night and seen live nationally on ESPN2 and globally via PokerGO.

The red-hot Bonomo continued his torrid run in 2018 to take home the lion’s share of the $24,840,000 prize pool and cemented his name in the history books as just the seventh person to win more than $10 million in a single poker tournament.

Bonomo has taken the poker world by storm, now surpassing $43 million in lifetime poker tournament winnings, becoming the highest earner all-time, passing Poker Hall of Famer Daniel Negreanu.  The $10 million score, is the largest prize he’s won.  This marks his second victory at the 2018 World Series of Poker.  He now has three career WSOP gold bracelets, and remarkably has won just shy of $25 million in just the last seven months ($24,940,435).  It’s Bonomo’s third high roller victory this year – with scores of $4.8 million, $5 million and now $10 million.  Bonomo has 10 victories in 2018, all worth six or seven figures each.  The one-time online poker prodigy, Bonomo has reinforced his reputation as one of the most talented and dangerous card sharps in the game today.

“Not even close, this year has been absolutely incredible,” said Bonomo after his latest victory.  “It’s more money than I’ve ever played for in my life.  I buckled down during all my breaks.  I studied. Took the day off the day before and studied all day.  I took this as seriously as I possibly could and tried to stay as focused as possible.  It paid off.”

That must be the heater of all heaters.

Just an astonishing series of results.  A lot of respect to him for his hard work and results.

On youstake it states he did a deal with Fedor heads up, so he got $9m.  There are other unnamed stakers too.

Pretty sick. What a year

Incredible player, but find him so hard to root for.

Never thought I’d see fedor hols heater from a couple of years ago beaten but this is something else,I think a lot of the pros have 20% tops in this event usually I know had even more than the 44% even he finished 2nd to Coleman who only had something like 14% of himself.

It isn't just Justin Bonomo, the Society of Poker Villians are flying at the minute.

11   Men Nguyen 417,000
15   Sorel Mizzi   254,000

They looked to be flagging when Chino Rheem could only manage 230th in the main after featuring near the top of the chip counts earlier in the event.

To be fair, they have been flying since Chris Ferguson won WSOP player of the year.

On the final day of the 888 (thin brag) I was at the same table as Men Nguyen for the first 40minutes or so. First hand after the table broke, I was still on the same table and I noticed an ace was marked. I brought it up to the floor and was trying to subtly hint that someone remaining in the field might be known for these sorts of things but the td didn't seem to pay much attention to it. It wasn't a slight, possibly accidental mark either but rather a fully pressed vertical nail indentation.

What a horrible little man Men is!
