| The numbers these guys are winning is just unbelievable and well done to all of them. Justin Bonomo has had a year that is unlikely to ever be reproduced by another player and he must be one heck of a player | |
| Mober | 02/01/2019 08:26:13 GMT |
| Well, what can you say now. He won 25 million in a single year from tournaments alone. He might had sold action but still, this is how you figure your earnings. And he plays only tournaments ? He may have more winning from cash games also. And the total earnings of 43 millions is amazing. Besides two, all other players are from USA. | |
| Calmplay | 02/01/2019 09:49:20 GMT |
| And he is just only 33, it is very young compared to the others in the top 10 all time money won. He can set a record which will be very very tough to break. | |

| This player has been exaggerated of ambitious and he learned poker very much. After 10 years or more of online poker and few years of live Justin Bonomo managed to amaze the poker world. Money earned by him in one year, makes envious any talented poker player or professional. He had beautiful performances and now it is appreciated by many people. Now he's a serious player and he demonstrated that. | |

| Obviously, these ratings cannot be trusted if they do not take into account buy-ins. Take, for example, Isaac Haxton, who has $20 million in prize money. I suspect he's in the black, but I'm not sure, given the number of tournaments he plays and their buy-ins. This year, there are players who buy-ins spent $6 million someone of them can be a prize of $5 million, it looks cool, but in reality it is minus a million. Justin is certainly a great tournament player-you can not argue with this. You can take 40 random players, put them to play expensive tournaments among themselves, and sooner or later they will all visit the top of the rating, even the weakest. What do these lists show? Nothing but statistics showing your winnings. But how relevant are they? Take, for example, T. J. Cloutier, had $10 million that he won in cheap tournaments for $300-500. Without a doubt, today's high rollers are the most difficult fields in the history of poker, but there will always be someone to win a lot | |

| He may be playing in tournaments with big buy ins indeed, but with all that money, his profit must be still very good and in the millions And as calmplay has noted, he is still young, so he has a long road ahead of him, to get even better with more good results. Someone that would worth to buy some action | |

| When you think about poker and to the money won by Justin Bonomo, you can say: it's a lot and it's hard to believe, but if we think in other areas, we can see how some people earn millions over millions. Times have changed a lot in recent years and the internet has enriched a lot of people very quickly. Poker has grown even more because of the internet and then because of the televisions. It's great to know that the internet puts bread on the table for a lot of people in this world. That's why many players win many millions of poker. Advertising has brought a colossal plus for many things. | |

| CALICUL | 12/01/2019 16:44:40 GMT |
| Justin Bonomo had no emotions before of the year 2018. I do not think he expected that luck, but these millions of dollars after taxes, will make him to play into the continuation. He want more and need to keep position 1 in that ranking. It's in good shape and he will continue to distance themselves from the main followers. | |
| kent1974 | 12/01/2019 17:13:28 GMT |
| I agree with those who believe that Bonomo will continue the game. And I think he will play both 10K and 20K and more expensive tournaments. After all, a professional player because a professional that does not stop there. ------------ He raised the bar very high. And keep it will be Oh how difficult. I will be happy to follow its results in 2k19 year. | |

| First of all I congratulate those great poker players for the achievements and those great prizes, of course everyone in this world has their great moments like all of us who won tournaments of lesser value but we add them up so this 2019 is a success for everyone at the tables | |
| Nightkid | 03/02/2019 12:41:47 GMT |
| Well, it's very nice what won this man Justin Bonomo ... to be one of the players with more victories so far this year and in the middle of having won a beautiful prize for a house because 25million in 1 year I think it's not bad to start with winning just 1 million dollars already I would reach | |
