Justin Bonomo (born September 30, 1985) (known online as ZeeJustin) is an American high-stakes professional poker player, and a former Magic the Gathering competitor.[5] He became the youngest player to be featured at a televised final table on February 19, 2005, when he placed fourth during the inaugural year of the EPT at the French Open in Deauville, France.[6] He was 19 at the time.

As of August 2025, he has the fourth-highest live tournament poker money winnings of all time,[7] with US$65.6 million.[8]

At the World Series of Poker, Bonomo has 55 cashes, made 19 final tables, and has won three bracelets and one circuit ring for $14,292,554 in winnings.[9] His first bracelet came in 2014 in Event #11: No-Limit Hold'em Six Handed, earning $449,980.[10] Bonomo came in second in the previous event in which he played, Event #5: Limit 2-7 Triple Draw Lowball.[11] This was his third runner-up finish at the WSOP, after one in 2008 and 2011, after which he lamented on Twitter, “Always a bride’s maid, never a bride.”[12][13] At the 2018 WSOP, Bonomo won Event #16, the $10,000 Heads-Up No-Limit Hold'em Championship with a prize of $185,965.[14] He followed this up by winning Event #78, the $1,000,000 One Drop for $10,000,000.[15] With this victory, Bonomo temporarily overtook Daniel Negreanu as number 1 on the all time live tournament money list,[16] until being surpassed by Bryn Kenney in August 2019, then surpassing Kenney again in July 2022.
