Justin Bonomo wins again

Justin ��ZeeJustin�� Bonomo had a 2018 to remember, winning more than $25 million from live poker tournaments and soaring to the top of the worldwide online money listings.

Bonomo isn��t only a live grinder; he can cut it with online poker��s elite grinders, as is evident by his victory at PokerStars on Feb. 10 that netted him almost $200,000.

PokerStars Turbo Series 54: $5,200 NLHE 8-Max High Roller Turbo

DateFebruary 10th
Buy-in$5,200
Guarantee$750,000
Entrants194
Prize pool$970,000
ITM23

The PokerStars Turbo Series 54: $5,200 NLHE 8-Max High Roller Turbo drew in a field of 194 entrants who helped create a $970,000 prize pool that was shared among the top 23 finishers.

Each of the eight players who reached the final table locked up at least $32,571 for their troubles and this was the sum Orpen ��OrpTheTurk�� Kisacikoglu walked away with when he busted in eighth-place.

Kisacikoglu was joined on the sidelines by Chris ��ImDaNuts�� Oliver and the Netherlands-based Brit Conor ��1_conor_b_1�� Beresford who collected $41,979 and $54,105 respectively.

Canada��s ��skitzo333�� and Manuel ��fellatiado�� Ruivo were the next to bust, with their exits leaving only three players in the hunt for the title; all three guaranteed a six-figure score.

PokerStars regular ��WATnlos�� of Austria saw their tournament end in third-place, a finish worth $115,839, leaving Tomi ��elmerixx�� Brouk and Bonomo to play heads-up for the title. Brouk, like so many players before him in this position, couldn��t outmaneuver Bonomo and had to make do with the $149,300 consolation prize, which meant Bonomo got his hands on $192,427.

The attendance of the new $109 buy-in Sunday Million fell for the second consecutive week, but 12,371 players still bought in and smashed the $1 million guarantee by $237,100.

It was Germany��s ��strongwill81�� who was the last player standing, meaning they secured a cool $124,602 payout. The German��s final opponent was ��AlexS1�� of Canada who walked away with $90,415 for their runner-up finish.

All but the ninth-place finisher, ��kostelo,�� turned their initial buy-in into a five-figure haul.

��GuiTirandente�� from Brazil busted in eighth-place and banked $13,206. ��Readas_reada�� and ��eblumin����s exits left five players contesting for the lion��s share of the prize pool before ��Guillaume479�� and ��Biffinio�� busted to leave strongwill81 and AlexS1 to battle for the title, and we know how that ended up.

partypoker KO Series #37-HR: $300K Gtd 8-Max

There were some big results over at partypoker thanks to the KO Series having some $300,000 guaranteed tournaments scheduled on Feb.10.

The KO Series #37-HR: $300K Gtd 8-Max beat its guarantee by $66,180, and this meant there were some chunky bounties on offer in the PKO tournament. Bounties can boost players�� prizes significantly with eighth-place finisher ��Mrakobes20�� taking home more than seventh-place finisher, Team partypoker��s Roberto ��WelshWizard�� Romanello.

It was a similar story later at the final table, with ��sergewiceq�� securing more than $1,000 more than ��GewoonBoef�� despite busting one place before.

It was the final two players who saw some giant-sized bounty payments come their way. Runner-up ��NinjasHype�� of the United Kingdom won $27,464 from the main prize pool plus an impressive $20,036 from the bounty prize pool. This was surpassed by the $27,500 first-place prize ��dartazz�� won, which was increased by $24,391 worth of bounties.

Lithuania��s ��dartazz�� won the KO Series event highlighted above and managed to reach the final table of the KO Series #38-HR: $300K Gtd 8-Max event too. This time they couldn��t go all the way. Instead, they had to make do with a seventh-place finish that was worth a combined $5,940.

Dartazz was the last player not to walk away with more than $11,000 for their effort. ��Onehundredeyes�� of Austria netted a combined $11,230 after finishing in sixth-place, only slightly less than the $11,340 locked up by Canada��s ��Uhtredsan��, the fifth-place finisher.

Norway��s Eirik ��digvalley�� Boen Gravdal boosted his partypoker bankroll by $19,036 with ��The1n0nlyJonG�� of Canada turning their $530 into a total prize worth $23,164.

Heads-up saw Croatia��s ��Juste1Canard�� and ��JimyTransaction�� from Costa Rica play for a huge gulf in bounty payments. Their prizes for finishing first and second only differed by $37, but there was a massive gap in the bounties. Juste1Canard fell in second-place and won $10,609 worth of bounties, but the champion saw their prize boosted by $32,825 from the bounty prize pool.

Only six players made it into the money in the $50,000 Whale thanks to a compact field of 62 players taking part.

��MisterN411��, a regular in high stakes tournaments, was the first player to get their hands on some prize money, namely $3,410, and they were followed to the sidelines by ��Juanfran1973�� of the UK and ��YSoSerious7�� of Ukraine.

Third-place and $9,300 went to the Swiss grinder known as ��J.DIFOOL,�� and they were the last player in the tournament not to bank a five-figure prize.

��f0rmEiTseGaL�� of the UK and Tim ��REALTTWIST�� Kelly were the last two players standing, but no deal was discussed despite a $7,440 difference in prize money, more than what fourth-place paid. This meant when f0rmEiTseGaL won all of the chip in play, they netted $22,940, and Kelly padded his bankroll with the $15,500 consolation prize.
