Dinner Break

Level: 15

Blinds: 6,000/12,000

Play It Like It's the Nuts

The table folded around to Tony G who raised to 32,000 from the small blind, and Justin Bonomo called from the big blind.

The flop came {K-Clubs}{9-Clubs}{9-Hearts}. Tony G continued with a bet of 35,000, and Bonomo deliberated just a moment before making the call. The turn came the {10-Clubs}, and both players checked.

The river brought the {J-Hearts}. Tony G wasted little time firing out a bet of 75,000. Bonomo stared at the board for a few seconds, then let it go. A grinning Tony G turned over his hand -- {6-Diamonds}{2-Spades}.

Tony G now has close to half a million, while Bonomo continues to sit near the top of the leaderboard with 1.27 million.
