Seems like a good hand to call with all around. You block some straights, hands like KJ and J10 and you don't block club draws. I still fold like the giant nit that I am though. Heck I probably fold the turn :p
@@KanielOutis147 This is one of my issues with implementing theory. I can identify which bluffs/value hands I block, but I have no idea if some of those hands are/should be in my opponent's range.
Bonomo had the perfect bluff catching hand with the king ten. The king blocked aks and k9s, and he's gonna need to pick a few hands like these to hero call with so he's not over folding when adamo is polarized here on the river. Also it's the perfect line for adamo because on the turn bonomo pretty much never has the nuts, which is ace king bc he just called pre. So adamo can empty the barrel knowing bonomo is gonna have to hero call with a player left in the tournament with a much shorter stack making bonomos call even tougher
If you know how Addamo plays, you know he’s not super polarized because he doesn’t play like normal people play. Polarized world mean he’s only doing this with the nuts, or a bluff, but Addamo just does out of whack stuff and could be doing this with a Q

Both world class players, amazing bluff, even better call. I think what made him call in the end was the fact that he didn’t have a club and blocked AK and K9.

He blocks k9, 98, q9, j9. He is repping those hands and he also knows that bonomos range is capped at weak one pair hands when he just calls turn. He never has nutted type hands like QJ, J10, AK, K9, 98. He reduces his range to one pair like hands exactly like he has or nothing at all. K10, q9, q8, 109, 108, 107,
Addamo makes it 4x preflop with squadoosh since Justin is 2nd in chips and a huge ICM situation to outlast the 3rd guy on short stack. I think he folds 92o except for this ICM consideration. J3Tr board fits JT's pf calling range (as rightfully commentated)so Addamo checks to fold, but JT doesnt want to inflate the pot due to MA's proclivity to Check Raise. JT wants to play small ball in position with second pair and ICM consideration. However. MA still has AK and other premiums in his range that he is trapping. Turn is Q, not AK has broadway. JT never has AK or a set, top of his range is two pair on the turn. He doesnt raise so MA can also eliminate 98 River pairs J. Justin would have bet a J on the flop most likely. MA still has broadway and every fullhouse possible. If JT had two pair, like QT, he got counterfeited. Best hand JT can have is likely a dry Q or T. Remember JT is unlikely to slowplay in position on a wet board with ICM situation. It is a hard call for every hand in JT's range that got to the river as above. So MA goes allin to put max ICM pressure. JT likely thought all the above, and probably imagines MA goes for lesser bet on river if he was trying to extract value, given JT knows MA knows JT's range that got to the river is limited and skewed towards bluff catchers. JT knows MA knows JT is under ICM pressure and likely doesnt have an automatic all in hand to call. JT puts all that together, decides MA does not want to call the river shove, so he calls.
To everyone saying adamo's line doesn't make that much sense and hes repping too thin, he could have AK, AQ, KQ, K9 or 98 easily.. idk if he would ever check QQ-KK-AA on flop but if he does sometimes he even has those as well. Lol @ "lol hes only repping straights or better", he doesn't have to be that strong when bonomo flatted pre,checked back flop and only called turn. Bonomo has like KQ at best here assuming he doesn't 3bet it preflop...
K9, 98 bet flop.. KQ might also bet as it’s good enough to call a jam and addamo can get bonomos A highs to fold river. Addamos line really only makes sense for AK. AQ shouldn’t be betting pot on that river
Addamo is a killer in a lineup of top pros. His moves are very high level thinking. I wonder how he'll do in a large field of amateurs like the WSOP main? My guess is he will either have to change his game, or he'll be out early. No hate whatsoever, just a thought.
Main event is a craps shoot. You have to win key flips. No matter how good you are the final table is once in a lifetime. Daniel negreanu hasnt made the final table in 20 years of playing. He was playing pre moneymaker less players and got 11th in 2001 and 11th in like 2017
Btw addamo won his first bracelet in a massive field $2500 or $1500 NL Holden event. He can no doubt navigate big fields but winning it is a 1000 to 1 at least if the field is thousands of players
Just say the main event is 7000 players. Adammo would have the best odds to win it at 1000 to 1. But that only means that if he played it 1000 times he would win it once. I would put his final tables odds at 400 to 1
@@izang5800 to say the main event is a craps shoot shows you know nothing about the main event. It's 2 hour levels and plays almost like a cash game as the blinds barely go up. You dont have to flip pretty much at all in the Main event.
He has a bracelet in the Marathon, a 2.5k with a field of around 1400. Not quite the main event, but still a weaker field. I think as his rep for bluffing grows, he will start to crush events like the main, as he'll adjust to value bet using large sizings and people who've seen this hand will station him all day.
Should have bet the flop if you wanna be fancy with 9 high, bet check bet takes it down. Great posture and balls doesn't always get it done, sometimes you have to actually make it make sense.
@Hubert Green Care to explain? Calling people fish and providing no explanation nor insight makes you seem like all talk. Even something as simple as Adamo being polarized is better than providing no insight.
yea im curious if he even calls with 109 im not sure if its just a call because addamo should be getting out of line so frequantly with icm/stack sizes id argue the 10 blocks more value then having a q would also intereszting hand but realisticly adddamo is repping so thin with a extremely wide opening range still a great call
@@scottpalmer2794 Ye he's basically repping AK (but Bono blocks) or J/10 (which he also blocks) or Q/J. That's about all that would legitimately warrant an all in in that spot if you were playing tight but aggressive. There's also the J/3 but unless he was playing just about any hand (which he actually was with the 9/2 lol) then that would normally of got folded out pre flop to a bet (Although he was small blind, it was final table of a massive tournament, there were only 3 at the table AND he was chip leader by quite a big margin - All these things change the situation to make his possible range super super wide in reality) . I think Addamo went into this hand looking for a bluff pretty early on. and as soon as that jack hit he could rep the boat over the nuts straight. Bono just had his bluff catching K/10 tho, but summoned the power of Vishnu and the other poker gods and somehow made that call anyway! Guy's got balls of steal. If bono didn't block two of the three major hands addamo could be repping, things might be different.
Yeah he did it because Justin is supposed to fold because ICM. Justin called because he knows that. Maybe they were on the 5th level or something but it comes back to that.
Yes ... I originally thought Bonomo made this call on a read. But when one contextualizes the overall chip.and tournament stage this occurs in ... Bonomo almost certainly read this as str8 ICM exploitation on Addamo's part and therefore felt the odds were actually quite good he was full of shit and that was as good a spot to call him on it as any.
Here’s my thought process: There’s no way he would have checked the flop if he had a Jack, unless he flopped a set. AK would have likely made a small c-bet on the flop, and any Jack would bet for value and protection. Based on GTO, Addamo has more effective nuts in this spot. But consider the following: 1. Why would you check a connected flop with a strong hand. 2. Why would you overbet the turn when it’s almost impossible you to have for AK, since you did not at least min c-bet the flop?
Pretty tight range of hands that Addamo could be winning with QQ, KK AA or 33. 10, 10 is highly improbable. Eventually Bonomo thought the chances of one of those 4 hands is too low.
I feel like the counter to Addamo’s style is to just do the exact opposite. His strategy is to give up value 5 times until you decide to take a stand and chase him. So just do the reverse. Give up value against him by underbetting and he either 1) the less likely option, still decides to barrel off into you or 2) sees your strategy and aborts his own, in which case you now force him to play your style of poker instead of you playing his.
This might sound nuts, but I highly suggest you watch this with the sound off and several other hands with Mike with the sound off so you don’t have to listen to the announcers it’ll help you step your gameplay up I promise
Why did Addamo open to 4BB? While I admit he knows the spot far better than me, that seems too large. From my understanding, a "normal" SB open (100BB effective, no ante) is around 3BB. The ante will presumably push that toward a larger open size to give the big blind worse pot odds to call, while the shorter stack depth (~43BB) will have the opposite effect. Even if the effect of the ante wins out among those two factors, I would not expect it to increase the size by a full big blind.
That’s how it goes when that much money is on the line. Give me $50K to play a tournament, best believe I’m gonna utilize my time bank as much as possible.
From what I've seen of Bonomo he's a massive calling station. Obviously this is a standard call on the river for him, and not super loose but I'd expected Bonomo to call wider than that, and as a result not bluff in Adamo's shoes.
This is a huge ICM spot which makes it more than just a bluff catcher. Probably that was the reason which heavily factored into Addamo picking up the spot to jam. I am a huge addamo fan, but what Bonomo did was more than just a bluff catch in bvb action.
They had ME sweating gas for the entire time...50K HR and bullying the shorts like that, with third player at half Bonomo's stack to incentivize even more his fold. Just Wow...
I think the bluff would have worked had he bet the flop, checked and made it seem like he was worried about the Q and the bomb the river almost like he is relieved to have caught the set.
I think the title should be, is this the most Gangster Hero Call of all time. 2 overs, draws on the board when Addamo starts his play, just WOW. What. A. Call.
Next level call so hard with all the money on the line especially with the ICM factor with the other player being such a short stack. Money might not be as big of a deal to them as it would be for me though they are in a 50k high roller 😂

Lol @ "lol hes only repping straights or better", he doesn't have to be that strong when bonomo flatted pre,checked back flop and only called turn. Bonomo has like KQ at best here assuming he doesn't 3bet it preflop...
K9, 98 bet flop.. KQ might also bet as it’s good enough to call a jam and addamo can get bonomos A highs to fold river. Addamos line really only makes sense for AK. AQ shouldn’t be betting pot on that river
Addamo is a killer in a lineup of top pros. His moves are very high level thinking. I wonder how he'll do in a large field of amateurs like the WSOP main? My guess is he will either have to change his game, or he'll be out early. No hate whatsoever, just a thought.
Main event is a craps shoot. You have to win key flips. No matter how good you are the final table is once in a lifetime. Daniel negreanu hasnt made the final table in 20 years of playing. He was playing pre moneymaker less players and got 11th in 2001 and 11th in like 2017
Btw addamo won his first bracelet in a massive field $2500 or $1500 NL Holden event. He can no doubt navigate big fields but winning it is a 1000 to 1 at least if the field is thousands of players
Just say the main event is 7000 players. Adammo would have the best odds to win it at 1000 to 1. But that only means that if he played it 1000 times he would win it once. I would put his final tables odds at 400 to 1
@@izang5800 to say the main event is a craps shoot shows you know nothing about the main event. It's 2 hour levels and plays almost like a cash game as the blinds barely go up. You dont have to flip pretty much at all in the Main event.
He has a bracelet in the Marathon, a 2.5k with a field of around 1400. Not quite the main event, but still a weaker field. I think as his rep for bluffing grows, he will start to crush events like the main, as he'll adjust to value bet using large sizings and people who've seen this hand will station him all day.
You gave away the whole video in the first twenty five seconds 😂
Should have bet the flop if you wanna be fancy with 9 high, bet check bet takes it down. Great posture and balls doesn't always get it done, sometimes you have to actually make it make sense.
Haven't seen you on anyone's poker radar Hubert
Lol Hubert I know you are probably really good at magic the gathering
Hubert Winthrop Green III stick to Pokemon
@Hubert Green Care to explain? Calling people fish and providing no explanation nor insight makes you seem like all talk. Even something as simple as Adamo being polarized is better than providing no insight.
Ho yes ,so pleasant to see him calling!
That was awesome. Has anyone done a hand analysis or did he do a post tourney interview?

Amazing call. That K blocker probably pushed him into calling. Sick though with short stacked Gaul
yea im curious if he even calls with 109 im not sure if its just a call because addamo should be getting out of line so frequantly with icm/stack sizes id argue the 10 blocks more value then having a q would also intereszting hand but realisticly adddamo is repping so thin with a extremely wide opening range still a great call
@@scottpalmer2794 Ye he's basically repping AK (but Bono blocks) or J/10 (which he also blocks) or Q/J. That's about all that would legitimately warrant an all in in that spot if you were playing tight but aggressive. There's also the J/3 but unless he was playing just about any hand (which he actually was with the 9/2 lol) then that would normally of got folded out pre flop to a bet (Although he was small blind, it was final table of a massive tournament, there were only 3 at the table AND he was chip leader by quite a big margin - All these things change the situation to make his possible range super super wide in reality) .
I think Addamo went into this hand looking for a bluff pretty early on. and as soon as that jack hit he could rep the boat over the nuts straight. Bono just had his bluff catching K/10 tho, but summoned the power of Vishnu and the other poker gods and somehow made that call anyway! Guy's got balls of steal. If bono didn't block two of the three major hands addamo could be repping, things might be different.
Seems pretty standard to me. Applying pressure on the small stacks 3 handed when you're chip leader. It'd be gangster if he was small stack doing this
Yeah he did it because Justin is supposed to fold because ICM. Justin called because he knows that. Maybe they were on the 5th level or something but it comes back to that.
I agree. I also don't think Justin would have made that call if Addamo didn't have so many chips.
Yes ... I originally thought Bonomo made this call on a read. But when one contextualizes the overall chip.and tournament stage this occurs in ... Bonomo almost certainly read this as str8 ICM exploitation on Addamo's part and therefore felt the odds were actually quite good he was full of shit and that was as good a spot to call him on it as any.
Addamo, is that you?
The most gangster bluff surely shouldn't be called, this is one of the greatest calls of all time.
My favorite thing about this video are the S4Y ads in the background. Doin big things.
Nice hand! It seems Addamo wanted to represent AK.
Perhaps a pot size bet instead of shoving could have scared Bonomo more effectively in this case.
Here’s my thought process: There’s no way he would have checked the flop if he had a Jack, unless he flopped a set. AK would have likely made a small c-bet on the flop, and any Jack would bet for value and protection. Based on GTO, Addamo has more effective nuts in this spot. But consider the following:
1. Why would you check a connected flop with a strong hand.
2. Why would you overbet the turn when it’s almost impossible you to have for AK, since you did not at least min c-bet the flop?
Every time I think I’m getting better at poker, I come back to this video and go back to 0.10/0.20
Pretty tight range of hands that Addamo could be winning with QQ, KK AA or 33. 10, 10 is highly improbable. Eventually Bonomo thought the chances of one of those 4 hands is too low.
Yifrach: "I would have snap called..."
Woooooooooooooo! How did you make that call?
I feel like the counter to Addamo’s style is to just do the exact opposite. His strategy is to give up value 5 times until you decide to take a stand and chase him. So just do the reverse. Give up value against him by underbetting and he either 1) the less likely option, still decides to barrel off into you or 2) sees your strategy and aborts his own, in which case you now force him to play your style of poker instead of you playing his.
Im stupid I thought Bonomo had a straight in the thumbnail but noticed he only had a 2 pair after a few minutes
Who won on this tournament?
Well he only was afraid of full house, while blocked straight. and knew he didn't have q to go all in with.... And trips is also rare in that play
"Most Gangster WSOP Bluff of All Time?" Oh yes
Долго думал, а так верил в бономо ) репутация Адамо адовая, по таким линиям натсово репит и с чего якобы добирает после чека флопа?
This might sound nuts, but I highly suggest you watch this with the sound off and several other hands with Mike with the sound off so you don’t have to listen to the announcers it’ll help you step your gameplay up I promise
It’s not the hardest bluff to make only risking 1/3 of your stack with a blocker to 2 straights and trips combos.
Why did Addamo open to 4BB? While I admit he knows the spot far better than me, that seems too large. From my understanding, a "normal" SB open (100BB effective, no ante) is around 3BB. The ante will presumably push that toward a larger open size to give the big blind worse pot odds to call, while the shorter stack depth (~43BB) will have the opposite effect. Even if the effect of the ante wins out among those two factors, I would not expect it to increase the size by a full big blind.
Perhaps he thought he could maximize fold equity later in the hand by building a bigger pot from the start given ICM pressure.
@@sageikeda4434 That's an astute point. :) He's not playing a hand as weak as 92o for nothing.
that 45+ second tank between each play is KILLING me. Crazy shove on the river tho wow
That’s how it goes when that much money is on the line. Give me $50K to play a tournament, best believe I’m gonna utilize my time bank as much as possible.
Most gangster WSOP call, too.
It’s so amazing to watch these guys make, both, bluffs and calls that I probably never could. A man can dream though. 😉
Sick call.
Tired of being bluffed helped.
I’m sorry if I was Addamo I would’ve bust a laugh 😂 like bro so nonchalant
Given how often Addamo does this stuff, I dont see how it goes on forever.
He just won a triton event lol
That call is nasty
I really like Justin becouse he is a great player, i was like to the last minute "please do it, please do it" :D
"he's open ended but only the bottom end works for him" Have these announcers ever actually played the game lol
From what I've seen of Bonomo he's a massive calling station. Obviously this is a standard call on the river for him, and not super loose but I'd expected Bonomo to call wider than that, and as a result not bluff in Adamo's shoes.
This is a huge ICM spot which makes it more than just a bluff catcher. Probably that was the reason which heavily factored into Addamo picking up the spot to jam. I am a huge addamo fan, but what Bonomo did was more than just a bluff catch in bvb action.
I love how he looks at the dealer to confirm his all in bluff like you always do when you have the nuts.
They had ME sweating gas for the entire time...50K HR and bullying the shorts like that, with third player at half Bonomo's stack to incentivize even more his fold. Just Wow...
I was watching this video and all I kept coming back to is ears are so oddly different, yet the same.
I think the bluff would have worked had he bet the flop, checked and made it seem like he was worried about the Q and the bomb the river almost like he is relieved to have caught the set.
Are these broadcast live? Bonomo looked like he was staring into the audience after trying for a live read twice….
30 minute delay
What's the time limit at these High Roller tournaments? 16 minutes? :)
Awesome bluff.. but for me, the one that beats it was Ivan Demidov vs Dennis Phillips... best bluff in the biggest event ... insane
Yet it didn't help Bonomo to win that bracelet. His action on the last hand is even more crazy than this bluff from Addamo.
What happened?
@@Brazz27 4bet jam 9To for 70bb called by KJs
CM Punk didn't know what to do here at all
I think the title should be, is this the most Gangster Hero Call of all time. 2 overs, draws on the board when Addamo starts his play, just WOW. What. A. Call.
No because that spoils the video.
The call was way more gangster than the bluff
Wow did not expect that ending!!!
Addamo putting Bonomo in the grinder. Sick spot
look at adamo he is hilarious XD i would break out laughing
These high rollers are so fun to watch.
Next level call so hard with all the money on the line especially with the ICM factor with the other player being such a short stack. Money might not be as big of a deal to them as it would be for me though they are in a 50k high roller 😂
Very nice call. Great play by both.
