Bonomo Shoves Turn and Selbst

Level 11 : 5,000/10,000, 1,000 ante

Justin Bonomo bet 35,000 on the {9-Spades}{8-Diamonds}{8-Clubs} flop and Team PokerStars Pro Vanessa Selbst called. Will Molson folded and the dealer dealt the {10-Diamonds} on the turn. Bonomo fired another bet, this time wagering 85,000. Selbst raised to 170,000 and Bonomo went into the tank. Eventually, he reraised all in for 424,000. Selbst tanked long and hard. She spent several minutes thinking. After he raise, Selbst had approximately 410,000 behind, so this was a huge decision. In the end, she found a fold and Bonomo raked in the pot.

ElkY Doubles Again

We joined the action on a board of {9-Clubs} {3-Spades} {2-Hearts} {3-Hearts} and the two players in the hand were Sorel Mizzi (BB) and Bertrand "ElkY" Grospellier (OTB). There was around 150,000 in the pot and Mizzi bet 53,000 and ElkY called. The river card was the {5-Spades} and Mizzi put ElkY all-in and the Frenchman called.

Mizzi showed {K-Spades} {K-Clubs} for the over pair, but ElkY was holding {A-Diamonds} {3-Diamonds} for trips.
