Justin Bonomo Wins The 2018 Super High Roller Bowl For $5 Million

American poker pro Justin Bonomo tops his seven-month cash streak with a $5 million victory at the 2018 Super High Roller Bowl. This tremendous streak has seen the 32 year old poker pro bring in more than $11.6 million in live earnings in just 116 days.

The action at the recently concluded Super High Roller Bowl was intense, pitting together 48 of the very best poker pros in the world—including poker superstars Daniel Negreanu, Phil Ivey, Phil Hellmuth, Fedor Holz and Erik Seidel.

The event was held at the ARIA and capped at 48 players and many missed out as they were not shortlisted during the draw. This was a small, star-studded field that promised to generously reward the winner of the event.

At the end of the four-day high-stakes tournament, one player stood out from the rest – Justin Bonomo. After a tense heads-up with Daniel Negreanu, Bonomo claimed the 2018 Super High Roller Bowl title and $5 million in prize money which is his biggest cash in his 17-year-long career.

Highlight Of Bonomo’s Career

In a statement, Bonomo said,

My mom has been my biggest fan, and her support helped so much. I’m so happy that I’ve got to win it with her watching. This is definitely a career-defining moment. Honestly, combining win after win in the last seven months is just ridiculous and this just feels unbelievable.
