Justin Bonomo

Joining the action on the turn, the board showed Jd8s2dTc and there was just over 25,000 in the pot.

In three-way action, Neil Blumenfield checked from the small blind. The player under the gun bet 6,500, and Justin Bonomo moved all in for 10,125 next to act. Blumenfield pondered for a long while before folding, and the bettor quickly called to put Bonomo at risk.

Bonomo needed to fade a jack or a trey to survive, and he did. The river was the 7d, giving him a double-up with a pair of queens.
