Just when you thought his year couldn’t get any better, Justin Bonomo put the biggest cherry of all on top of his stellar 2018. Grabbing the all-time money list lead from Daniel Negreanu, who lead one of poker’s most prestigious lists since July 2014 after previous stints at the top in 2009 and 2011, Bonomo became the first player to eclipse the $40 million earnings mark with his Big One for One Drop win.
