Shak Runs into Bonomo's Straight... Twice

Level 6 : 2,500/5,000, 0 ante

Omaha Hi-Lo

Dan Shak went into two battles against Justin Bonomo, and he ended up losing them both.

The first hand saw Bonomo open from the cutoff, and Shak called from the small blind. They checked the {8-Hearts}{6-Clubs}{9-Clubs} flop, and Bonomo bet on the {10-Diamonds} turn, earning a check-call from Shak. The river was the {4-Hearts}, and Shak check-called, only to see the {Q-Spades}{9-Spades}{Q-Clubs}{J-Diamonds} in Bonomo's hand.

Bonomo raised the following hand, as well, and Shak opted to three-bet from the button. Bonomo called, then called Shak's continuation bet on the {3-Spades}{2-Spades}{A-Clubs}. The {10-Diamonds} turn was checked through, and Bonomo led out on the {4-Spades} river. Shak threw in the calling chip.

"I have another straight," Bonomo said, revealing his {5-Diamonds}{6-Clubs}{A-Hearts}{10-Hearts} for a six-high straight and the nut low. Shak sighed while Mike Matusow, also seated at that table, presented, "Justin Bonomo, ladies and gentleman," introducing Bonomo to the world.

Meanwhile, Shak's two losses against Bonomo's straights saw him drop down to his last 14,300.
