ZEEJUSTIN WINS WSOP CIRCUIT LAS VEGAS
8 May 2009
Internet ace wins after exhausting heads up
against Mizrachi
Internet poker hotshot Justin 'Zeejustin' Bonomo
demonstrated how mature and experienced he has become in
Las Vegas this week, winning the $237 692 main prize in
the World Series of Poker Circuit tournament despite
some very talented competition. The win will no doubt
help his ongoing reputation rebuild after the online
multi-accounting scandals of recent years.
The
young pro came from behind to defeat a star-studded
field and win his first major live tournament. To do
that he had to suvive an entry field of 187 players that
included Mike 'The Grinder' Mizrachi, Men 'The Master'
Nguyen and WSOP bracelet holders Matt Graham and Robert
Cheung. Also in the field going into day 2 of the three
day epic were Kathy Liebert, Dwyte Pilgrim, Tony Dunst,
Jeremiah DeGreef, Johnny Chan, David Pham and Gavin
Smith.
The final table of nine aces was a good
illustration of the firepower on display, and included
eleven WSOP Circuit rings and at least four WSOP
bracelets.
In the end it came down to an
enthralling four hours of heads up play between Bonomo
and the irrepressible Mike Mizrachi, with the lead
changing repeatedly in an exciting deepstacked poker
game that must have been exhausting for both players
following three days of tough poker.
But it was
Bonomo who triumphed to take the main prize and a
sponsored seat to the next WSOP Main Event from a very
worthy opponent in Mike Mizrachi, who had the
consolation of a second placing check for $143 512 for
his time and trouble.
