Samson Doubles Through Bonomo; 'ZeeJustin' Left Short-stacked

Kelly Samson opened the pot with a 90,000 pre-flop raise and when the action fell to Justin 'ZeeJustin' Bonomo, he moved all in holding a pocket pair of tens. Samson made the call and turned over pocket queens, leaving Justin in pretty bad shape heading into the showdown.

The board delivered {4-Hearts}{5-Clubs}{4-Diamonds}{Q-Diamonds}{Q-Spades}, giving Samson quad queens in an overkill victory that left Bonomo with just over 100,000 in chips. Samson skyrocketed past the one million mark and now sits with approximately 1,340,000.
