Oh No, Bonomo!

The button and both blinds limped to see a flop of {9-Clubs}{8-Clubs}{4-Spades}. The blinds checked to Justin Bonomo on the button, who promptly bet 1,025. The small blind got out of the way while the big blind went into the tank.

After thinking it through, the big blind moved all in for around 2,500. Bonomo called with the {4-Clubs}{6-Clubs} and was up against the {J-Clubs}{10-Clubs} of the big blind. The turn was the {10-Diamonds}, leaving Bonomo in bad shape. The {5-Diamonds} on the river ensured the big blind's double up and left Bonomo with just 1,300.

Makhija Eliminated

After the button had raised to 425, Amit Makhija moved all in for a total of 1,600. The button made the call with {Q-Clubs}{10-Diamonds} but was way behind Makhija's {A-Spades}{10-Hearts}.

Makhija had to do a double take when the flop came {7-Diamonds}{J-Diamonds}{A-Diamonds}, giving him a pair of aces but the button a flush draw. The {6-Diamonds} on the turn gave the button the said flush draw and left Makhija drawing dead. After the {9-Clubs} was put out on the river, Makhija made his exit from the tournament.
