It has been a very profitable 2018 for the 32-year-old Bonomo, who had won just two months ago the Super High Roller Bowl China for a whopping $4,800,000! This year, the Ameri[...] Read more » Justin Bonomo wins 2018 Super High Roller Bowl for $5,000,000

US$5 million return for his US$300,000 investment. That's absolutely incredible! Justin Bonomo is simply unstoppable. Massive well done to Justin. And congratulations also to Daniel Negreanu for his runner-up finish.

The incredible amount with which you bought the entry into this tournament. This professional poker player is a very lucky man but also a real player. Justin Bonomo's performances this year are very good and he will surely come in Poker Hall of Fame in 2-3 years if it's not already there.

This man is good! He did not know his name, but surely he is well known, since he is already in the third position of those who have won more money in live tournaments. 13 final tables in this year, it is an eyesore! From another planet. Clearly his game has improved remarkably. Negreanu is nothing to say, of the best poker players. I wish I could be in the middle of final tables that they play, although of buy in a little more guys, I do not think to get to 300k XD

Of course the amazing thing for me, is not the prize of 5 millions, for the first place, but the buy in for 300k, Not easy to "digest" the amount of money they are spending in buy ins If you are not rich, that amount is a fortune for you

American citizens are some of the people who pay the highest tax on their earnings and this is very absurd. Scott Blumstein has earned $ 8 millions and 150 k. After tax stayed with 4.310.570 dollars. Does the American government play poker with him double against the others for this miserable taxes? This is unacceptable for me because at the same tournament a Frenchman and an Englishman won over 3 millions and 2 millions and their governments they did not stop any tax. I was very amazed. Sad for americans.

its not only americans... all country have to pay taxas on wining... exept Great Britain, and never heard about French, but all other countries have to pay taxes, some are lower, some are higher... For example if I won it I would have to pay prob same as Blumstein in taxes...thats why most of pros are taking UK citizenship, because there is no taxes on poker winnings

The tax issue was the main reason for players at the final tables of the WSOP main events to change their country of residency. They were up to a big payouzt, and while all countries charge a lot of tax, some charge even more.

Yes StheP i know about taxes because taxes are in all countries. There on this planet may be 1-2 countries without taxes but i speak generally. I was referring to the fact that the taxes are too high because in Romania is 25%. I have a picture with that tournament but also with the awards after tax. To you how big they are?

Another fantastic result for Justin Bonomo to keep an unbelievable run going. To win so much money in one year is staggering but to do it against the very best players is unheard of

why are you talking about sponsor? its rare someone have sponsor... they just sell action usualy with mark up... for this high tournament mark up on realy good players is around 1.2... so he just sell to a lot of people action... some will buy 1% some will buy 1/2 of % some will buy 5%... 10%... and he is poker player that never have 100% of himself it those large tournaments... actuly evry single pro player doesnt have 100% of themselfs in this kind of tournaments... its simply just proper BRM... we dont know what is his share of this 5m$ maybe he only had 1% maybe he had 50%... only he knows... and I doubt he will ever have 100% of him in any 100k$+ tournament of himself... Only those buisness billionairs that play this tournament have 100% and only if they didnt sell a part of it also...

I'm bored to hear about this player Justin Bonomo many times in a short period of time. I read a little about him and has a shameful spot on his back. He has used multiple accounts in the past 2006 and tens of thousands of dollars were confiscated. So it is forbidden by many rooms. This thing was lucky for him in my opinion. He focused more on poker and today's his results are fabulous.
