"It's good," Nitsche said, showing {a-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}.

On a final board of {J-Hearts}{2-Diamonds}{8-Clubs}{2-Clubs}{3-Diamonds}, Dominik Nitsche announced he was all in for roughly 155,000.

Isaac Haxton thought for a little, and then called all in for his last 80,000.

Nitsche tabled his {K-Hearts}{J-Diamonds}, and Haxton flashed his {9-Spades}{9-Clubs}, and then mucked and exited the PokerGO Studio.

Bonomo Orders a Double-Double With Cheese

Level 11 : 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante
Justin Bonomo
Justin Bonomo

Justin Bonomo shoved all in for 51,000 in the cutoff. Big blind Jared Jaffee peeked at his cards and flicked in a chip.

Bonomo: {a-Clubs}{9-Hearts}
Jaffee: {a-Diamonds}{10-Clubs}

Bonomo was dominated but hit the four-card flush as {5-Clubs}{3-Clubs}{6-Clubs}{k-Clubs}{3-Hearts} hit the felt.

The next hand, Bonomo opened for 12,000 and Michael Dyer made it 34,000 in the next seat. Bonomo slid in calling chips. The {10-Spades}{9-Spades}{3-Diamonds} flop prompted him to shove all in and Dyer quickly called.

Dyer: {a-Clubs}{k-Clubs}
Bonomo: {8-Hearts}{7-Hearts}

Bonomo was drawing but had live outs to pairs. He hit both of those as the {8-Diamonds} turn was followed by a {7-Clubs} river. He collected 77,000 from Dyer.

Bonomo Stays Alive

Level 11 : 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

Sam Soverel limped the button, and Justin Bonomo called in the small blind. Michael Dyer raised to 22,000 from the big blind, and Soverel called, as did Bonomo for his last 15,000 total.

The {J-Spades}{3-Hearts}{10-Hearts} flop checked through to reveal the {4-Hearts} on the turn. Dyer bet 18,000, and Soverel folded.

Dyer: {A-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds}
Bonomo: {J-Clubs}{6-Spades}

The river landed the {Q-Hearts}, and Bonomo tripled up.

Soverel Finds Double Against Bonomo

Level 10 : 3,000/5,000, 5,000 ante

After raising to 11,000, Sam Soverel was faced with a three-bet to 27,000 from Justin Bonomo. Soverel eventually had his last 170,000 enter the middle, and Bonomo looked him up.

Soverel: {K-Clubs}{K-Diamonds}
Bonomo: {J-Diamonds}{J-Clubs}

The dealer spread a {5-Clubs}{3-Spades}{6-Spades}{3-Hearts}{9-Clubs} board, and Soverel's kings would hold for a double while leaving Bonomo down to just over a big blind.
