[@Proactionguy]

i think bonomo 4b shoved around 40BB with JTo in a recent battle against addamo and addamo folded. must've been a soul read by addamo to put him on that exact kind of hand for a 4b bluff. but damn, calling off your tournament life with KJ is so thin it's insane how good addamo is

[@freethinker5226]

Addamo was running the simulation in his head about how the hands would run out. That’s why he was stone-faced as the board ran out because hehe already knew what was going to happen.

[@cookiemonster9102]

[@Brazz27]

Im not good enough to comment the plays in the hand, but we can at least be happy to see these 2 sickos battling like that (two heads ups in one month in the toughest fields in the world is insane)

[@SuperSissen]

At first glance both the 4jam and the call seem on the super aggressive side. I think it has a lot to do with Addamo having crazy 3bet frequencies heads up and really driving the metagame around that. And he's obviously very self-aware of that, so I guess that might explain how this happened.

[@Gos1234567]

Yea and as one comment above says Bonomo maybe isnt 4bet shoving Aa/KK/QQ enough to be balanced

[@iambadatpickingusernames6669]

I have noticed that about Addamo watching him in a lot of the GG tournament final tables. He's aware that people re-jam on him wide, so he calls it off a bit looser.

[@jf5618]

And next time Justin shoves against Addamo in a similar spot… Addamo is playing above the rim and running pure. It’s crazy to see runs like his, Fedor, Coleman

[@duhGOATman]

Bonomo wouldn't open ship a lot of his top range to a re raise though in my opinion so thats why he got called, either way he was losing this hand if he did anything other than fold to the reraise.

[@henrymonness3687]

He definitely would with AK, AQ, and like 55-JJ.

[@duhGOATman]

@@Gos1234567 I don't think hes ever ripping that stack in off the 3 bet that size with AA KK QQ more like 4 betting to 5 mil or something I think his only chance of getting him off was making him think more making it 5-7 million

For someone like Bonomo to play this way, and I mean his demeanour, hand selection for the 4bet jam, the speed etc..Addamo must be living in his head rent free.

[@TheFerrari004]

This guys sure had a deal behind cameras for making this play

[@thomasdoyle6812]

Had to be right

[@Gos1234567]

Possible,makes sense though

[@iambadatpickingusernames6669]

No it’s just a play that looks strange to onlookers but makes sense in the meta of their strategy against each other. Bonomo knows Addamo finds excessive 3 bet bluffs so he’s willing to shove wider. Addamo knows Bonomo knows this, so he’s willing to call off a bit lighter. Plus there’s an ante which means this plays a lot shallower than 70bb. And Bonomo never just shoves top of range, hands like AA/KK 4 bet non all in.

[@muzero2642]

Justin. I know you are sick. But you are not sicker than me! -Addamo's thoughts

[@Sam-db4mr]

I can’t believe Addamo called that shove with just KJ. Gotta wonder what exactly he was putting Bonomo on. A small or medium PP and he was racing? Or a mediocre hand that Addamo was actually ahead of??

[@Mor3Lif3]

A mid-pair maybe. The 50/50 to win a 1.000.000 tournament seens good.

[@LLlap]

Lower PP or Ace-rag. Couldn`t fold essentially a flip with 4 mil already in the pot.

[@grindix]

70 bb 4 bet jam ?! these bb antes alter shoving ranges drastically or bonomo s just making a massive punt in this one. does he ever have a value 4 bet rip for 70bb? so much room to put in a normally sized 4 bet with the premiums. That definitely must have swayed addamo towards the call.

[@TankAssTanner]

Yup....Bonomos shove polarized his hand to super premium or marginal hands, with a marginal hand more likely. If you're strong, you'd normally rather just call or make a small raise pre flop and let a super aggro player like Addamo bet into you. Not saying I could make that call, but I get it.

[@sunsetter3796]

Maybe they made a deal before.

[@iambadatpickingusernames6669]

[@howardmoon86]

Man what a dramatic way to win it. I wonder what made him call with KJs. I think if Bonomo 4bet to 4 to 5 mil instead of sending it all in, Addamo might have folded.

[@Uncle_Troy]

T9o is actually a great candidate to 4-bet light with here. Addamo's 3-betting percentage is so high in HU play that Justin is actually more worried about how he can take down a bunch of chips against a ton of weaker hands in Addamo's range. One way to achieve this end is by shoving all-in, which forces Addamo to fold a ton of slight favourites and other similarly weighted hands while also calling off a lot of his underpairs which flip against T9. T9 also blocks a ton of middling hands that would 3-bet here, so having those hole cards in hand makes Justin's decision to shove light a lot easier to make.

[@patjablonski9739]

Why would you want to block middling hands when they’re candidates to fold to a jam. I mean blocking TT and 99 is good but other than that you’d generally want Addamo to have a T or 9 in his hand

[@Seaton1518]

Lol you can make anything sound kinda right but shoving 74bb w 9 10 is a Mega Punt

Im not gonna take anything away from Addamo skills, definitely the guy is a good player, but at the same time he’s running like god, so that’s why he made that nearly impossible call when he wasn’t pot committed, and most of the times bonomo is gonna show with 10’s plus or AK, AQ, but he knew that he’s gonna smash that board regardless what Bonomo’s hand is, he’s just feeling it

[@ShredHeadJHJ]

Bad call by Addamo in my opinion. They're too deep and too late to gamble on live cards like this. Their stacks are nearly identical and he wasn't too invested. He wound up calling a giant hand where he was not in a dominating situation. What did he want Bonomo to have? Exactly K-10, Q-J, or J-10? But the guy's a good poker player still, he just gets really lucky with these types of plays.
