Bonomo leaving Bodog

After two years with Bodog, Justin Bonomo and the online poker room are parting ways. The 24 year old poker pro joined the Bodog Pro Team in 2007.

“Bodog and I have officially parted ways after a two-year sponsorship relationship,” said Bonomo. “I want to thank Bodog and its staff for giving me an opportunity to play for them.”

Bonomo did not go into the details regarding the situation but did stress that he didn’t quit the team. The good news for him is that he is already talking to other poker rooms about sponsorship.

This departure comes just two months after Bodog dropped Jean-Robert Bellande. David Williams and Evelyn Ng are the last two members of the Bodog Pro Team.

Bonomo learned poker online and won countless tournaments using the screen name ZeeJustin. In 2005, he broke onto the live poker scene by making the final table of PokerStars.com EPT Deauville. At the time he was the youngest player to make a televised final table. Since then he has accumulated $2.3 million in live tournament winnings.

Controversy arose in 2006 when it was learned Bonomo had been multi-accounting, a practice banned on almost all online poker sites. He eventually made a public apology and was subsequently signed by Bodog Poker in 2008.
