Still quite an accomplishment, especially Bonomo NOT busting when running super bad 3handed and then HU at first. Skill on display. And discipline.
Anyone who watched the final 5 hours would say the REALLY crazy thing is how insanely lucky Fedor Holz was at the FT -- especially when 3handed (after his river set double-knockout, obv.) -- the momentum was crazy strong in his favor, at one point he had 70% of chips in play. Bonomo just could not make a pair, or if he did Holz had better or rivered better...
Then a setup hand to get to HU with like a 4:1 chip lead... And even HU Holz momentum continued. So sick.
But then... Bonomo never gave up, after missed flop time and again, vs sticky Holz who rarely had to bluff... Then finally a perfect check-call 3 streets thin by Bonomo, for the steal of momentum and I was pretty sure he would win after that.
But it was solid, VERY WATCHABLE, HU play between two guys at the top of their game... who FYI apprently made a slight "deal" to reduce variance in this swingy game (7mill each and play for the title and remaining 2mill AKA winner got 9mill and runnerup got 7, not 10 and 6.)
But imo well worth watching for those who missed it live.
