Michael Bonsignore (Hollywood, FL) was texting his buddies about his good fortune to triple-up, and then managed to find another double just a few hands later.

On one of the final hands of Level 27, Michael Bonsignore was all-in for just two big blinds, and watched as there was a re-shove and call behind.  When the hands were tabled, Bonsignore would have a slim lead with A♥ 5♦, against K♠ Q♥ (Jose De La Cruz) and K♣ 10♦ (Marc Duquette).  The board would run out 2♠ 8♥ 10♣ Q♠ A♣, giving Duquette the lead on the flop, and Jose the lead on the turn.  The river then gave Bonsignore the final lead, which helped him more than triple up to 460,000.  

Two hands later, in a blind versus blind situation, Colby Covington would shove all-in from the small.  Michael quickly called for all of his chips, and would hold a strong lead when the cards were tabled, with Q♠ Q♣ against Colby's J♠ 10♠.  Even though Colby flopped a ten, that's as much help as he'd get, and Michael would chip up to 950,000.

Michael Bonsignore - 950,000 (15bb)
