Bonomo Tries to Help a Friend

Justin Bonomo raised to 32,000 from the button and then Men "The Master" Nguyen moved all in from the small blind for 90,000. Matt Graham jumped up and announced that he was running to the bathroom as action fell back on Bonomo. Jack Schanbacher also went to the bathroom. In an attempt to stall for their bathroom break, Bonomo tanked so Graham wouldn't have to miss a hand.

About 30-40 seconds later, Graham and Schanbacher came running back into the room. "You have no idea how good a friend I am," said Bonomo and then made the call.

Showdown:
Nguyen: {K-Diamonds} {Q-Spades}
Bonomo: {A-Hearts} {A-Clubs}

Schanbacher mentioned that Graham told him in the bathroom that Bonomo probably has aces.

The flop was huge for Nguyen when it came {K-Clubs} {Q-Hearts} {5-Spades}. The turn was the {4-Spades} and then the river the {9-Hearts}. The Master doubled up, but didn't say too much about the slowroll from Bonomo. Bonomo looked at Graham and said, "I hate you," jokingly and then explained that he did it so Graham wouldn't have to miss a hand.
