Justin Bonomo Eliminated in Seventh Place ($362,279)
Level 21
: Blinds 125,000/250,000, 250,000 ante
Justin Bonomo’s chip stack started dwindling as the tournament moved to a single table with the final nine players.
He watched as two players exited, and then made a move on the button by moving all in. Cary Katz, one of the big stacks, called out of the blind and the cards were tabled.
“It’s a race,” Katz said after seeing Bonomo’s hand.
Justin Bonomo: A?J?
Cary Katz: 9?9?
The dealer ran out 4?2?6?, leaving Katz in the lead. The 3? on the turn and K? on the river left Katz’s pocket pair in the lead to send Bonomo out in seventh place for $362,279.
