Bonomo Bubbles the 2019 USPO $100,000 Main Event

Level 18 : 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante
Justin Bonomo - Bubble Boy
Justin Bonomo - Bubble Boy

The short-stacked Justin Bonomo jammed under the gun for 315,000 and Ryan Riess moved all in over the top for 25,000 more from the button. Both blinds folded and the hands were turned up.

Bonomo: {q-Clubs}{j-Hearts}
Riess: {a-Diamonds}{q-Hearts}

The {6-Diamonds}{7-Spades}{10-Spades} flop didn't do Bonomo any favors and neither did the {10-Hearts} turn. The {7-Clubs} river was a brick and Bonomo bubbled the tournament in sixth place.

The remaining five players are now guaranteed at least $264,000 in prize money.
