It��s been nearly two years since Justin Bonomo played a live poker tournament. A couple of days ago he returned by competing in a $50K, which he followed up by being one of 21 players to renter the $300,000 buy-in Super High Roller Bowl VI.

��It��s good to be back,�� said Bonomo, who in the meantime hasn't slowed down winning online. ��I was a little bit nervous that I wouldn��t really feel it, but you know, 20 years of doing this it��s like riding a bike. You get right back into the flow.��

The flow for Bonomo is pretty good, especially in SHRB events. Back in 2018, he topped a 75-entry field to win the Super High Roller Bowl China for HK$37,830,000 ($4,823,077) and then followed it up by navigating a 48-player field to win the $300,000 Super High Roller Bowl IV for $5,000,000.

As if that wasn��t enough, Bonomo didn��t let the pandemic slow him down as he took his game online by beating a 50-entry field to win the $102,000 buy-in 2020 Super High Roller Bowl Online for $1,775,000.

Bonomo, who currently sits second on poker��s all-time money list with a staggering $53.2 million, has a chance to become a four-time SHRB champ, though even he admits it won��t be easy.

��It��s a tough tournament. These are long grueling days. You��re up against tough players who have very different styles of play. I��m just trying to stay focused and play my best game.��

Indeed, Bonomo is up against some tough competition, but fortunately for him, he has experience with them all.

��I��ve played with everyone here a ton,�� he said. ��There are some people I��ve only played with online, like Chris Brewer. I��ve only played with him online until now, but I know he��s a very tough player. I think I have a good feel for how everyone plays.��

While Bonomo is focused on the SHRB, PokerNews did ask about his plans for the upcoming World Series of Poker (WOSP).

��I won��t be there the whole time,�� he revealed. ��Right after this I��m flying to Greece for a wedding, but I��ll be back eventually. Probably mid or late October I��ll start playing some events, and then there are some really good high rollers that I��m definitely going to play, but I��m not going to be playing 50 events or anything like that.��

Finally, PokerNews couldn��t help but ask about Bonomo��s hairdo, which was no longer dyed bright pink.

��I feel like I made the statement that I wanted to with the pink,�� he said. ��It came to be this thing where I didn��t want to be known as the ��pink hair guy,�� I didn��t want that to be my identity. I had some fun with it but I moved on.��

Bonomo was still in contention for the SHRB VI title with eight players remaining at the time of publication. PokerNews will offer a recap after the conclusion of Day 2 as well as a winner recap on Wednesday.
