Level 11 : 600/1,200, 200 ante

We picked up the action on the turn of a 40,000-chip pot and a board reading {2-Clubs}{a-Diamonds}{5-Clubs}{j-Hearts}. Justin Bonomo was facing a bet of 18,300 and made the call.

The river was the {q-Hearts} and Bonomo's opponent checked. Bonomo thought for just a moment before announcing he was all in. This put Bonomo's opponent deep into the tank.

About five minutes went by without Bonomo flinching in the slightest. His opponent squirmed and agonized over the decision before eventually making the call.

Bonomo tabled {a-Hearts}{j-Clubs} for two pair and his opponent mucked {a-Clubs}{k-Clubs}, having made a pair of aces but bricking out on a nut-flush draw.

With the pot, Bonomo appears to be the new tournament chip leader.
