Cold Five-Bet from Bonomo

Level 22 : 12,000/24,000, 3,000 ante

Justin Bonomo just pulled off one of the rarest poker plays ever seen, the cold five-bet. And he did so in the €25,000 High Roller with just six players left.

From the hijack seat, Philipp Gruissem raised to 51,000. In the next spot, Igor Kurganov reraised to 125,000 from the cutoff seat. Team PokerStars Pro Daniel Negreanu four-bet to 255,000 from the button and then Justin Bonomo began to tank in the small blind. Eventually, he five-bet for all of the biscuits and declared, "I'm all in."

One by one, everyone folded their hands and Bonomo won the pot. Negreanu showed the {A-Spades}{Q-Spades} and said, "I'm either beat or that was one heck of a play." Bonomo is back into the chip lead now.
