Like so many poker pros, Justin Bonomo started his career playing Magic: The Gathering before finding success at the online tables. His career looked in jeopardy when he was caught with multiple accounts, but he’s subsequently proven his worth as a highly-skilled player with no need to rely on dubious tactics.

He’s transferred his online success to the live poker arena, most notably placing fourth at the EPT Deauville at just 19. He has had consistent live success since turning 21 having already netted over $800,000 in tournament winnings.
