Navarro Busts Ruggeri and Doubles Via Bonomo

Richard Hayes

Level 9 : Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

The flop read 8?8?4? and Justin Bonomo had put out a bet of 2,000, only to be check-raised by Mario Navarro in the big blind to 8,000. The all-in triangle was in front of Umberto Ruggeri from under the gun for around 23,000, who had presumably check-jammed.

Bonomo considered his options and rejammed, covering Navarro. Navarro quickly got the rest of his chips, totaling 34,100, into the middle.

Umberto Ruggeri: K?K? All in
Mario Navarro: 9?8? All in
Justin Bonomo: A?10?

Navarro had flopped trip eights to overtake Ruggeri's pocket kings, but he still had outs to fade against Bonomo's flush draw.

The 2? turn and J? river were indeed bricks and Navarro scooped a decent pot, Ruggeri said his goodbyes and Bonomo sustained a bit of damage to his stack.
