Level 26 : 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante

Hand #138: In a limped pot, the flop came {7-Spades}{4-Diamonds}{3-Clubs} and Boutros Nadim shipped all in for 1,740,000 with {3-Spades}{2-Hearts}. Justin Bonomo called with {8-Clubs}{7-Hearts} and was in great shape to end the tournament. The turn brought the {10-Diamonds} and Bonomo was one card away. The dealer burned and turned the {2-Clubs} on the river, giving Nadim two pair and a big double up.

Hand #139: Nadim open-shipped all in on the button and Bonomo quickly tossed his cards.

hand #140: Bonomo limped in on the button with {9-Clubs}{2-Diamonds} and Nadim checked with {q-Spades}{2-Spades}. The flop came {k-Clubs}{10-Clubs}{10-Spades} and both players checked to the {4-Hearts} on the turn. Two more checks led to the {3-Clubs} on the river. Nadim checked and Bonomo checked as well as Nadim took down the pot with queen-high.

Hand #141: Nadim raised to 165,000 on the button with {q-Hearts}{6-Hearts} and Bonomo folded {7-Hearts}{3-Diamonds} in the big blind.

Hand #142: Bonomo raised to 180,000 on the button with {7-Clubs}{6-Spades} and Nadim called with {j-Hearts}{7-Hearts}. The flop fell {9-Diamonds}{4-Clubs}{3-Hearts} and Nadim checked to Bonomo who continued for 150,000. Nadim mucked after missing the flop and Bonomo finally took a pot.

Hands #143-147: Ace on the River Rescues Bonomo's Tournament Life

Level 26 : 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante

Hand #143: Another walk for Justin Bonomo after Boutros Nadim folded his queen-three.

Hand #144: Bonomo raised the button with jack-eight but quickly folded to Nadim's shove with king-nine.

Hand #145: Nadim limped {J-Hearts}{7-Clubs} and Bonomo checked his {9-Diamonds}{4-Hearts}. Both players checked the flop and the turn of the {6-Spades}{Q-Hearts}{5-Diamonds}{5-Clubs}{4-Spades} board. Bonomo then valued his rivered four at 80,000 and earned a call from Nadim.

Hand #146: Bonomo opened {8-Hearts}{7-Spades} to 180,000 and Nadim matched the bet with {Q-Clubs}{9-Spades} to hit a decent {3-Clubs}{Q-Diamonds}{3-Spades} flop. Nadim wasted no time and led out 275,000 but he couldn't get any action from his rival.

Hand #147: Nadim raised to 180,000 with {Q-Spades}{8-Diamonds} and Bonomo defended his {8-Clubs}{7-Hearts} with a call. The {2-Clubs}{6-Clubs}{6-Hearts} flop was checked but both players hit the {8-Spades} turn. Bonomo checked one more time but Nadim did his trademark move, shoving all-in. Bonomo called to see his hand was dominated.

The accomplished American pro was drawing slim, hoping for just the three sevens to claim the whole pot. Bonomo, however, sweated some additional cards for a chop and he would get one of them on the {A-Clubs} river.

Level 26 : 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante

The {j-Clubs} on the turn and the {9-Diamonds} on the river changed nothing as Bonomo doubled up into a massive chip lead.

Hand #152: Bonomo raised all in with {5-Clubs}{4-Clubs} and Nadim called with {q-Spades}{9-Spades}. The flop came {k-Spades}{k-Hearts}{10-Hearts} and Nadim was still in the lead with queen-high. The {q-Hearts} on the turn left Bonomo drawing dead to the {a-Clubs} on the river.

Level 27 : 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante

Hand #154: Justin Bonomo limped with {J-Hearts}{8-Diamonds} and Boutros Nadim checked his options with {8-Hearts}{5-Hearts}. Nadim overbet the {7-Clubs}{10-Hearts}{J-Spades} flop, firing 450,000. Bonomo opted for a double raise and Nadim folded.

"I hope I'm going to make it this time," Nadim said before the dealer revealed the {8-Diamonds}{4-Clubs}{6-Diamonds}{J-Diamonds}{5-Clubs} board. The turn card sealed it for Nadim who doubled to 3.2 million to narrow the gap. Bonomo was still ahead with 3.6 million.

Hand #157: Nadim open-shoved his {A-Hearts}{5-Diamonds}, forcing a fold from Bonomo.

Hand #160: Bonomo limped in with {k-Clubs}{9-Spades} and Nadim checked with {5-Hearts}{2-Hearts}. The flop came {6-Clubs}{5-Clubs}{4-Diamonds} and Nadim shipped all in, prompting a fold from Bonomo.

Hands #164-168: Bonomo Closing on the Victory After a Giant Double

Level 27 : 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante

Hand #164: Justin Bonomo completed with {Q-Spades}{8-Diamonds} and Boutros Nadim checked. Nadim's {10-Hearts}{4-Clubs} caught no piece of the {Q-Hearts}{J-Hearts}{7-Diamonds} flop and he check-folded to Bonomo's min-bet.

Hand #165: Bonomo received a walk.

Hand #166: Bonomo called and Nadim checked. The flop fell {9-Diamonds}{9-Clubs}{9-Hearts} and Nadim check-called 100,000 with his {10-Diamonds}{8-Spades}. Bonomo was just ahead with {J-Hearts}{3-Spades} and he fired another barrel on the {A-Hearts} turn. Nadim couldn't pay the 300,000 and let the pot go to Bonomo.

Hand #167: Another walk for Bonomo.

Hand #168: In a quick fashion, Bonomo limped {A-Hearts}{9-Diamonds} and called when Nadim shoved with {A-Clubs}{4-Diamonds}.

Bonomo observed a chop possibilities on the {Q-Spades}{J-Hearts}{5-Diamonds} flop as another five would discard the kickers. The {2-Hearts} turn opened a straight draw for Nadim but the {6-Hearts} stayed with Bonomo whose stack was counted at 3,075,000. He's now an overwhelming chip leader while Nadim is left with just under six big blinds.

Hand #169: Bonomo raised from the button and Nadim quickly folded his big blind.

Hand #170: Boutros Nadim went all in with {j-Hearts}{3-Diamonds} for 550,000 and Justin Bonomo quickly called with {a-Spades}{q-Hearts}. The flop came {6-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds} and Nadim picked up a straight flush draw. The turn brought the {2-Spades}, giving Nadim a straight. Bonomo was left drawing to a three to chop the pot, but the {9-Hearts} on the river secured the double up for Nadim.

Hand #171: Bonomo announced all in with {q-Hearts}{7-Hearts} and Nadim folded {9-Clubs}{5-Clubs} in the big blind.
