In a battle of the blinds, David Peters (small) and Justin Bonomo (big) built a big pot heading to the river of a 9s9d8d2d8s board. Peters moved all in for 186,000, and Bonomo pondered for an eternity before calling to put Peters at risk.

As soon as Bonomo called, Peters began to stand up from his chair. He showed 5h7h for a miss, and Bonomo tabled AhJd to win the pot with his ace kicker.

Peters was eliminated, while Bonomo’s chip lead has ballooned into something seriously impressive.

The players at the other end of the table were talking about what they just witnessed. Someone, maybe Joe McKeehen, asked, “How do you do it?”

“Just don’t fold,” Bonomo revealed the key to his success.

Justin Bonomo – 1,520,000 (152 bb)
David Peters – Eliminated
