Bonomo's crowning achievement was winning the $1 million event at the World Series of Poker in 2019, collecting a mammoth $10 million payout.

His biggest ever single score actually came at a Triton event - the $1,050,000 buy in charity No Limit Hold'Em event in 2019 - where a fourth-place finish earned him $5,368,947.

Chidwick is currently leading the Ivan Leow award for Triton's Player of the Year with the Vietnam event and two yet-to-be announced stops to come.
