Bonnano Takes a Minute

Level 1: 100 / 100 ante: 100

James Bonanno

Early action folds to Guam’s James Bonnano who raises from the D to 200 and gets the blinds to call.

The flop is K♥ 6♦ 4♣ as the blinds check. Bonnano continues for 300 and gets a call from the SB Japan’s Makoto Miyatake. The BB folds. It is Heads-Up to the turn where the 2♥ comes. This time, Miyatake takes the betting lead for 600. Bonnano calls. The river is the 7♣ and now, Miyatake checks. The Guam native then fires 1,000 but gets check-raised to 3,800. Bonnano gives it a think—for almost a full minute—then decides to make the call.

Miyatake tables 8♥ 4♦ for bottom pair on the flop as Bonnano turns over K♦ 2♦ for two pairs on the turn. He just wanted to think about it.
