Justin Bonomo has taken down the World Series of Poker Big One for One Drop for $10 million, making it the third WSOP gold bracelet of his career and propelling him comfortably into the All-Time Money List top spot. Bonomo faced off against Fedor Holz to take the win last night in Las Vegas.

Since the start of 2018 Bonomo has cashed a staggering 24 times, coming in 1st place 10 times. Before taking down the Big One for One Drop for the biggest win of his career, Bonomo won the 2018 Super High Roller Bowl for $5 million.

If you look at the Poker All-Time Money list ten years ago and today, only two players still rank in the top ten. Back in 2009, Erik Seidel was 10 th on the list with just $9.3 million in career earnings. Since that time, the eight-time WSOP bracelet winner has nearly quadrupled his career earnings thanks to high roller events. The Tournament of Champions is a new addition to the Australian Poker Tour for Season 3/4. Any player, during season 3/4, who wins an event as an individual will qualify for the Tournament of Champions that will be held in Brisbane at our season Finale. There will be a total prize pool of $25,000 and the winner is guaranteed $10,000 cash!

His earnings for 2018 are now over the $24.9 million mark and overall his lifetime earnings stand at $42.9 million.

“Being number one on the all-time money list is sweet,” Justin Bonomo told the WSOP after his win. “It’s awesome. It feels good. But to be honest, I understand that that is not the measure of who a great player is. At the end of the day, I feel like this past year I’ve played fantastic poker. … And that’s something I can be very proud of. I’m not going to say I’m the best player in the world, but I’m very confident that I’m up there and I’m very proud of what I’ve done.”

There hasn’t been a heater like this since 2016 when Fedor Holz, who ended up coming second in the Big One for One Drop for $6 million, earned $5 million in just one month with back-to-back high roller wins.

In the past 6 months Bonomo has moved from 14th place to 1st place on the All-Time Money list. Fedor Holz is up one place to 4th place, Eric Seidel is down one to 3rd place, and Daniel Negreanu sits in 2nd.

Effective Altruism

Bonomo is known in the poker community for his effective altruism and as an ambassador for REG Charity —a platform designed by poker players to raise money for the highest impact charities and research foundations.

Bonomo even sold pieces of himself via YouStake at a 1.05 markup, pledging to give all of the proceeds from the 5% markup to Givewell.org.

The Big One for One Drop is in and of itself a charity event in support of One Drop—a foundation that ensures communities in impoverished countries have access to clean water. From each buy-in to the 2018 Big One for One Drop, $80,000 was earmarked for the One Drop foundation and the remaining $920,000 went to the prizepool.

“Everyone kept asking me, ‘Are you excited to play One Drop?’ And my answer to everyone was ‘No.” Yes it’s a great privilege, but I see it as a great responsibility,” Bonomo said on his involvement in the WSOP Big One for One Drop event. “It’s more money than I’ve ever played for in my life so I buckled down during all my breaks, I studied, I took the day off the day before and just studied all day. Meditation every single day. I just took this as seriously as I possibly could and tried as hard as I possibly could.”

It’s been nearly eight years since Antonio Esfandiari won what was then the biggest first-place prize in poker history, pocketing $18,346,673 for taking down the $1 million buy-in Big One For One Drop at the 2012 World Series of Poker.

The massive score shot Esfandiari to the top of poker’s all-time live tournament earnings list, where he would remain for two years before ultimately getting passed by Daniel Negreanu, and then subsequently Justin Bonomo and Bryn Kenney. But catching up with Esfandiari for Card Player’sPoker Stories Podcast, it became clear just how disconnected he has become from the poker world in the years since.

“Oh? He’s no. 1? Good for him,” said Esfandiari, after being informed that Kenney had overtaken the top spot, nearly six months after it happened.

“I don’t really follow poker anymore,” he admitted. “I used to have a ‘guy,’ kind of on the payroll who would give me all the news and gossip, because I loved that [stuff], but honestly, I have no idea what’s going on anymore. I don’t know who’s winning. I don’t know who’s bashing who on twitter.”

As for his spot on the rankings, the 41-year-old admitted that it had been a while since he had checked.

“It was really nice when I was no. 1 for two years. I was running around with Jeff Gross, and he used to always prop me up to people and tell them I was the no. 1 all-time money winner, and you know, I got to admit it was kind of nice. It was great. I used to love talking about it.” he said.

“I don’t even know where I am anymore. My guess… 11th?”

It’s actually 14th, and there are four or five players who will be passing his career earnings of $27,275,185 any day now.

“$56 million?” Esfandiari questioned, when told of how much Kenney has amassed as poker’s new no. 1.

“Yeah, it’s going to be hard to catch up to that, because he’s still on the hunt. But he’s also young, he doesn’t have kids, and he can just drift around the world, playing in these poker tournaments. So, it’s very likely that he’s just going to [stay on top]. When Daniel [Negreanu] overtook me, a part of me was really hungry to get it back. But then, as soon as I had kids, I could [not] care less.”

Despite being out of touch with the latest news of the poker world, the three-time WSOP bracelet winner still remains one of poker’s most recognizable figures. His boxing match prop bet with comedy star and poker enthusiast Kevin Hart got the attention of mainstream media outlets, and he still makes regular appearances on Poker After Dark and other live-streamed cash games, but for the most part, his poker these days is played behind closed doors.

It’s a far cry from his early days in the game, when he was constantly on the road chasing the next big cash game or circuit stop.

“I’ve played at some vacation resorts that were just awesome, but we were just being complete degenerates,” he admitted. “I remember one time, we started playing F
