Super High Roller Bowl final: Bonomo beats Negreanu for the title

Justin Bonomo has won back-to-back Super High Roller Bowl events after adding the Las Vegas title to the one he won in China after beating Daniel Negreanu in heads-up action.

Justin Bonomo is the winner of the Super High Roller Bowl (SHRB) capping off a remarkable 2018 that has seen him win close to $14m in live tournaments with the World Series of Poker (WSOP) flashing a thigh around a bedroom door just a few miles from here.

Bonomo’s consistency in the most significant events in the world is second to none, but only recently has he managed to cross the finishing line with more accuracy including back-to-back SHRB victories after winning SHRB China a few months ago for close to $5m.

His win sees him move to #3 in the All-Time Money Earned charts in the Hendon Mob with close to $32m, leapfrogging Daniel Colman and Antonio Esfandiari, two of the three people to earn more in a calendar year than Bonomo (both won the One Drop). The other player who has received more is Fedor Holz who won $16m in 2016, a target that’s well within the sights of the American.
