Bonomo had the perfect bluff catching hand with the king ten. The king blocked aks and k9s, and he's gonna need to pick a few hands like these to hero call with so he's not over folding when adamo is polarized here on the river. Also it's the perfect line for adamo because on the turn bonomo pretty much never has the nuts, which is ace king bc he just called pre. So adamo can empty the barrel knowing bonomo is gonna have to hero call with a player left in the tournament with a much shorter stack making bonomos call even tougher
If you know how Addamo plays, you know he’s not super polarized because he doesn’t play like normal people play. Polarized world mean he’s only doing this with the nuts, or a bluff, but Addamo just does out of whack stuff and could be doing this with a Q

What a great call Justin!!!! I was sweating the whole time thinking, please call. That was definitely max pressure. Well done sir. Great move by Adammo as well.

Addamo makes it 4x preflop with squadoosh since Justin is 2nd in chips and a huge ICM situation to outlast the 3rd guy on short stack. I think he folds 92o except for this ICM consideration. J3Tr board fits JT's pf calling range (as rightfully commentated)so Addamo checks to fold, but JT doesnt want to inflate the pot due to MA's proclivity to Check Raise. JT wants to play small ball in position with second pair and ICM consideration. However. MA still has AK and other premiums in his range that he is trapping. Turn is Q, not AK has broadway. JT never has AK or a set, top of his range is two pair on the turn. He doesnt raise so MA can also eliminate 98 River pairs J. Justin would have bet a J on the flop most likely. MA still has broadway and every fullhouse possible. If JT had two pair, like QT, he got counterfeited. Best hand JT can have is likely a dry Q or T. Remember JT is unlikely to slowplay in position on a wet board with ICM situation. It is a hard call for every hand in JT's range that got to the river as above. So MA goes allin to put max ICM pressure. JT likely thought all the above, and probably imagines MA goes for lesser bet on river if he was trying to extract value, given JT knows MA knows JT's range that got to the river is limited and skewed towards bluff catchers. JT knows MA knows JT is under ICM pressure and likely doesnt have an automatic all in hand to call. JT puts all that together, decides MA does not want to call the river shove, so he calls.
Both world class players, amazing bluff, even better call. I think what made him call in the end was the fact that he didn’t have a club and blocked AK and K9.
To everyone saying adamo's line doesn't make that much sense and hes repping too thin, he could have AK, AQ, KQ, K9 or 98 easily.. idk if he would ever check QQ-KK-AA on flop but if he does sometimes he even has those as well. Lol @ "lol hes only repping straights or better", he doesn't have to be that strong when bonomo flatted pre,checked back flop and only called turn. Bonomo has like KQ at best here assuming he doesn't 3bet it preflop...
K9, 98 bet flop.. KQ might also bet as it’s good enough to call a jam and addamo can get bonomos A highs to fold river. Addamos line really only makes sense for AK. AQ shouldn’t be betting pot on that river
Addamo is a killer in a lineup of top pros. His moves are very high level thinking. I wonder how he'll do in a large field of amateurs like the WSOP main? My guess is he will either have to change his game, or he'll be out early. No hate whatsoever, just a thought.
Main event is a craps shoot. You have to win key flips. No matter how good you are the final table is once in a lifetime. Daniel negreanu hasnt made the final table in 20 years of playing. He was playing pre moneymaker less players and got 11th in 2001 and 11th in like 2017
Btw addamo won his first bracelet in a massive field $2500 or $1500 NL Holden event. He can no doubt navigate big fields but winning it is a 1000 to 1 at least if the field is thousands of players
Just say the main event is 7000 players. Adammo would have the best odds to win it at 1000 to 1. But that only means that if he played it 1000 times he would win it once. I would put his final tables odds at 400 to 1
@@izang5800 to say the main event is a craps shoot shows you know nothing about the main event. It's 2 hour levels and plays almost like a cash game as the blinds barely go up. You dont have to flip pretty much at all in the Main event.
He has a bracelet in the Marathon, a 2.5k with a field of around 1400. Not quite the main event, but still a weaker field. I think as his rep for bluffing grows, he will start to crush events like the main, as he'll adjust to value bet using large sizings and people who've seen this hand will station him all day.
They had ME sweating gas for the entire time...50K HR and bullying the shorts like that, with third player at half Bonomo's stack to incentivize even more his fold. Just Wow...
Yeah he did it because Justin is supposed to fold because ICM. Justin called because he knows that. Maybe they were on the 5th level or something but it comes back to that.
Yes ... I originally thought Bonomo made this call on a read. But when one contextualizes the overall chip.and tournament stage this occurs in ... Bonomo almost certainly read this as str8 ICM exploitation on Addamo's part and therefore felt the odds were actually quite good he was full of shit and that was as good a spot to call him on it as any.
got a little feeling of bonomo has decided to call on the first minute, that K 10 give him some valuable blocker, he just need to make sure and drag it as long as he can to drain addamo energy a little bit
Pretty tight range of hands that Addamo could be winning with QQ, KK AA or 33. 10, 10 is highly improbable. Eventually Bonomo thought the chances of one of those 4 hands is too low.
yea im curious if he even calls with 109 im not sure if its just a call because addamo should be getting out of line so frequantly with icm/stack sizes id argue the 10 blocks more value then having a q would also intereszting hand but realisticly adddamo is repping so thin with a extremely wide opening range still a great call
@@scottpalmer2794 Ye he's basically repping AK (but Bono blocks) or J/10 (which he also blocks) or Q/J. That's about all that would legitimately warrant an all in in that spot if you were playing tight but aggressive. There's also the J/3 but unless he was playing just about any hand (which he actually was with the 9/2 lol) then that would normally of got folded out pre flop to a bet (Although he was small blind, it was final table of a massive tournament, there were only 3 at the table AND he was chip leader by quite a big margin - All these things change the situation to make his possible range super super wide in reality) . I think Addamo went into this hand looking for a bluff pretty early on. and as soon as that jack hit he could rep the boat over the nuts straight. Bono just had his bluff catching K/10 tho, but summoned the power of Vishnu and the other poker gods and somehow made that call anyway! Guy's got balls of steal. If bono didn't block two of the three major hands addamo could be repping, things might be different.
He blocks k9, 98, q9, j9. He is repping those hands and he also knows that bonomos range is capped at weak one pair hands when he just calls turn. He never has nutted type hands like QJ, J10, AK, K9, 98. He reduces his range to one pair like hands exactly like he has or nothing at all. K10, q9, q8, 109, 108, 107,
Should have bet the flop if you wanna be fancy with 9 high, bet check bet takes it down. Great posture and balls doesn't always get it done, sometimes you have to actually make it make sense.
@Hubert Green Care to explain? Calling people fish and providing no explanation nor insight makes you seem like all talk. Even something as simple as Adamo being polarized is better than providing no insight.
Wow. This is one of the greatest poker hands I have ever seen. From both players. And that call from Justin Bonomo is maybe the greatest call of all time.
You talk about a balls call. Even though you know the chip leader is the one most likely to screw with you, calling with 3rd high pair in such a critical situation deserves a check mark. In case you are unaware, protecting you stack at a final is up there with going all in with A-A.
I think the bluff would have worked had he bet the flop, checked and made it seem like he was worried about the Q and the bomb the river almost like he is relieved to have caught the set.
That’s how it goes when that much money is on the line. Give me $50K to play a tournament, best believe I’m gonna utilize my time bank as much as possible.
This might sound nuts, but I highly suggest you watch this with the sound off and several other hands with Mike with the sound off so you don’t have to listen to the announcers it’ll help you step your gameplay up I promise
Why did Addamo open to 4BB? While I admit he knows the spot far better than me, that seems too large. From my understanding, a "normal" SB open (100BB effective, no ante) is around 3BB. The ante will presumably push that toward a larger open size to give the big blind worse pot odds to call, while the shorter stack depth (~43BB) will have the opposite effect. Even if the effect of the ante wins out among those two factors, I would not expect it to increase the size by a full big blind.
God that bluff was brutal. As a poker fan I love it for helping bring on the boom, but as a Farha fan its brutal. What's even worse was he knew immediately after the fold that it was a bluff. Moneymakers sigh of relief was audible from the mirage
This particular bluff by Addamo is not well justified especially after checking the flop and that Jack on the river. Bonomo knows that Addamo knows he doesn't have a Jack or a Queen as played. So Addamo is basiclly saying AK as even a hand like QQ would be betting that flop often. Another reason to call would be the other short stack and again Bonomo knows that Addamo can easily factor in that in his shove. And I don't believe Bonomo is someone who is worried of pay jumps.
From what I've seen of Bonomo he's a massive calling station. Obviously this is a standard call on the river for him, and not super loose but I'd expected Bonomo to call wider than that, and as a result not bluff in Adamo's shoes.
This is a huge ICM spot which makes it more than just a bluff catcher. Probably that was the reason which heavily factored into Addamo picking up the spot to jam. I am a huge addamo fan, but what Bonomo did was more than just a bluff catch in bvb action.

He has a bracelet in the Marathon, a 2.5k with a field of around 1400. Not quite the main event, but still a weaker field. I think as his rep for bluffing grows, he will start to crush events like the main, as he'll adjust to value bet using large sizings and people who've seen this hand will station him all day.
badger really changed his lifestyle around
xD Underrated Joke!
They had ME sweating gas for the entire time...50K HR and bullying the shorts like that, with third player at half Bonomo's stack to incentivize even more his fold. Just Wow...
Sick call.
Tired of being bluffed helped.
Seems pretty standard to me. Applying pressure on the small stacks 3 handed when you're chip leader. It'd be gangster if he was small stack doing this
Yeah he did it because Justin is supposed to fold because ICM. Justin called because he knows that. Maybe they were on the 5th level or something but it comes back to that.
I agree. I also don't think Justin would have made that call if Addamo didn't have so many chips.
Yes ... I originally thought Bonomo made this call on a read. But when one contextualizes the overall chip.and tournament stage this occurs in ... Bonomo almost certainly read this as str8 ICM exploitation on Addamo's part and therefore felt the odds were actually quite good he was full of shit and that was as good a spot to call him on it as any.
Addamo, is that you?
can anyone explain the spoiler at the start of each video..?
It’s not the hardest bluff to make only risking 1/3 of your stack with a blocker to 2 straights and trips combos.
Most gangster WSOP call, too.
Salute for that call..
Who won on this tournament?
Anyone think asking for the clock might have changed the outcome??
got a little feeling of bonomo has decided to call on the first minute, that K 10 give him some valuable blocker, he just need to make sure and drag it as long as he can to drain addamo energy a little bit
Yet it didn't help Bonomo to win that bracelet. His action on the last hand is even more crazy than this bluff from Addamo.
What happened?

My favorite thing about this video are the S4Y ads in the background. Doin big things.
Долго думал, а так верил в бономо ) репутация Адамо адовая, по таким линиям натсово репит и с чего якобы добирает после чека флопа?
"Most Gangster WSOP Bluff of All Time?" Oh yes
Pretty tight range of hands that Addamo could be winning with QQ, KK AA or 33. 10, 10 is highly improbable. Eventually Bonomo thought the chances of one of those 4 hands is too low.
That was awesome. Has anyone done a hand analysis or did he do a post tourney interview?
Amazing call. That K blocker probably pushed him into calling. Sick though with short stacked Gaul
yea im curious if he even calls with 109 im not sure if its just a call because addamo should be getting out of line so frequantly with icm/stack sizes id argue the 10 blocks more value then having a q would also intereszting hand but realisticly adddamo is repping so thin with a extremely wide opening range still a great call
@@scottpalmer2794 Ye he's basically repping AK (but Bono blocks) or J/10 (which he also blocks) or Q/J. That's about all that would legitimately warrant an all in in that spot if you were playing tight but aggressive. There's also the J/3 but unless he was playing just about any hand (which he actually was with the 9/2 lol) then that would normally of got folded out pre flop to a bet (Although he was small blind, it was final table of a massive tournament, there were only 3 at the table AND he was chip leader by quite a big margin - All these things change the situation to make his possible range super super wide in reality) .
I think Addamo went into this hand looking for a bluff pretty early on. and as soon as that jack hit he could rep the boat over the nuts straight. Bono just had his bluff catching K/10 tho, but summoned the power of Vishnu and the other poker gods and somehow made that call anyway! Guy's got balls of steal. If bono didn't block two of the three major hands addamo could be repping, things might be different.
Well he only was afraid of full house, while blocked straight. and knew he didn't have q to go all in with.... And trips is also rare in that play
The most gangster bluff surely shouldn't be called, this is one of the greatest calls of all time.
Wow did not expect that ending!!!
Very nice call. Great play by both.
I don't understand the video title????? it should say most gangster call of all time.....
It’s so amazing to watch these guys make, both, bluffs and calls that I probably never could. A man can dream though. 😉
CM Punk didn't know what to do here at all
Im stupid I thought Bonomo had a straight in the thumbnail but noticed he only had a 2 pair after a few minutes
What is addamo repping with the river jam ?
He blocks k9, 98, q9, j9. He is repping those hands and he also knows that bonomos range is capped at weak one pair hands when he just calls turn. He never has nutted type hands like QJ, J10, AK, K9, 98. He reduces his range to one pair like hands exactly like he has or nothing at all. K10, q9, q8, 109, 108, 107,
Oh shit it's Hubert Winthrop Green III lol. The master of magic the gathering. You can't play poker with a name like Hubert bro, stop it.
@Hubert Green This is poker not magic the gathering, you are out of your league bub.
@@izang5800 Uh Adamo has AK AQ KQ K9 and 98 in his range here...definitely not J9 or Q9 lol. true that bonomo blocks a few combos tho
@@ExiTeCA I meant he blocks those hands. I am only talking about hands he is blocking not repping
Two great players....one amazing play!!
Should have bet the flop if you wanna be fancy with 9 high, bet check bet takes it down. Great posture and balls doesn't always get it done, sometimes you have to actually make it make sense.
Haven't seen you on anyone's poker radar Hubert
Lol Hubert I know you are probably really good at magic the gathering
Hubert Winthrop Green III stick to Pokemon
@Hubert Green Care to explain? Calling people fish and providing no explanation nor insight makes you seem like all talk. Even something as simple as Adamo being polarized is better than providing no insight.
Wow. This is one of the greatest poker hands I have ever seen. From both players. And that call from Justin Bonomo is maybe the greatest call of all time.
Woooooooooooooo! How did you make that call?
Yifrach: "I would have snap called..."
I really like Justin becouse he is a great player, i was like to the last minute "please do it, please do it" :D
These high rollers are so fun to watch.
You talk about a balls call. Even though you know the chip leader is the one most likely to screw with you, calling with 3rd high pair in such a critical situation deserves a check mark. In case you are unaware, protecting you stack at a final is up there with going all in with A-A.
This should be renamed as one of the best calls ever.
Awesome bluff.. but for me, the one that beats it was Ivan Demidov vs Dennis Phillips... best bluff in the biggest event ... insane
That’s insane from both guys
I think the bluff would have worked had he bet the flop, checked and made it seem like he was worried about the Q and the bomb the river almost like he is relieved to have caught the set.
that 45+ second tank between each play is KILLING me. Crazy shove on the river tho wow
That’s how it goes when that much money is on the line. Give me $50K to play a tournament, best believe I’m gonna utilize my time bank as much as possible.
This might sound nuts, but I highly suggest you watch this with the sound off and several other hands with Mike with the sound off so you don’t have to listen to the announcers it’ll help you step your gameplay up I promise
Sick snap call
Why did Addamo open to 4BB? While I admit he knows the spot far better than me, that seems too large. From my understanding, a "normal" SB open (100BB effective, no ante) is around 3BB. The ante will presumably push that toward a larger open size to give the big blind worse pot odds to call, while the shorter stack depth (~43BB) will have the opposite effect. Even if the effect of the ante wins out among those two factors, I would not expect it to increase the size by a full big blind.
Perhaps he thought he could maximize fold equity later in the hand by building a bigger pot from the start given ICM pressure.
@@sageikeda4434 That's an astute point. :) He's not playing a hand as weak as 92o for nothing.
Not even close. Moneymaker bluff HU vs Farha for WSOP ME title is most gangster all time
God that bluff was brutal. As a poker fan I love it for helping bring on the boom, but as a Farha fan its brutal. What's even worse was he knew immediately after the fold that it was a bluff. Moneymakers sigh of relief was audible from the mirage
What's the time limit at these High Roller tournaments? 16 minutes? :)
The amount of tanking is unbearable
This isn't poker. These are statues pretending to be humans as their every move is over analyzed 100 times over.
This particular bluff by Addamo is not well justified especially after checking the flop and that Jack on the river. Bonomo knows that Addamo knows he doesn't have a Jack or a Queen as played. So Addamo is basiclly saying AK as even a hand like QQ would be betting that flop often. Another reason to call would be the other short stack and again Bonomo knows that Addamo can easily factor in that in his shove. And I don't believe Bonomo is someone who is worried of pay jumps.
Great call
Wow, what a call.
Excellent bet - legendary call.
Well played from both players 👍🌟👏🤛
Given how often Addamo does this stuff, I dont see how it goes on forever.
He just won a triton event lol
The gulp Adamo made on the river wow!!!!
The best bluffcatcher vs over agression player .
Well done mate, nice call
From what I've seen of Bonomo he's a massive calling station. Obviously this is a standard call on the river for him, and not super loose but I'd expected Bonomo to call wider than that, and as a result not bluff in Adamo's shoes.
This is a huge ICM spot which makes it more than just a bluff catcher. Probably that was the reason which heavily factored into Addamo picking up the spot to jam. I am a huge addamo fan, but what Bonomo did was more than just a bluff catch in bvb action.
