Andoni Larrabe Wins 5,000$ Side Event at PCA Bahamas, Beats Justin Bonomo


Andoni Larrabe, known online as 'pollopopeye,' made a significant impact at the PCA Bahamas by winning the 5,000$ side event. This victory came after a heads-up final against Justin Bonomo, one of the most respected players in the poker circuit.

The win was particularly notable because Larrabe and Bonomo had previously agreed to split the prize money, with each taking home 218,710$. This agreement added an interesting dynamic to the final match, as both players were already guaranteed a substantial payout regardless of the outcome.

Justin Bonomo announced Larrabe's victory on his Twitter account, highlighting the curious way the news spread. Bonomo's tweet, which mentioned Larrabe's online handle, brought attention to the unexpected win and the unique circumstances surrounding it.

I've spent years at the tables — cash and tournaments — and just as long shaping poker copy behind the scenes: room reviews, bonus fine print, tournament notes. At PokerInsider I write the way I wish more sites would: clear structure, honest trade-offs, no hype. Whether you're new or already grinding, I care about what the offer actually costs you — rake, variance, and the fine print — and I treat responsible play as part of the job, not a footnote.
