Jousting with Justin

Justin Bonomo
Justin Bonomo
Justin Bonomo just butted heads with the same opponent on consecutive hands.

On the first, Bonomo bet and raised the entire way as the board came {A-Spades}{2-Diamonds}{K-Clubs}{J-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}, and on the end turned over {A-Diamonds}{2-Spades} for two pair, enough to claim the pot.

On the second, Bonomo again led the betting to the end, until pulling up on the river with the board showing {6-Spades}{5-Diamonds}{9-Spades}{A-Spades}{10-Clubs}. After it went check-check on fifth street, his opponent turned over Q-10 for a rivered pair. "King high," said Bonomo, tossing his cards to the dealer.

Bonomo now has about 20,000.
