A drop in the ocean for Bonomo

The $50,000 NLH event kicked off on November 5th, with 25 entrants. The $1.25 million prize pool was shared between the top four finishers.

The good result in the $50K set the tone for Peters, as he managed to take down the biggest event of the series', the $100K NLH event. The event, which generated 24 entries for a $2.4 million prize pool also rewarded four players. The final four was made of three real heavyweights and a celebrity - Rick Solomon was battling it out against Jake Schindler and Ben Tollerene, in addition to Peters.

He has nothing to be ashamed of as he managed to outlast the former two, with only Peters being able to bust him.

Final results

With this seven-figure score, David now has $27,815,921 in live tournament winnings and is currently 6th on the all-time money list.
