You cannot have a 'Top 3 greatest poker players of all time' list without including the highest earning poker player of all time.

The thirty three year old phenomenon has taken the World of Poker by storm, winning super-high roller tournaments in cities all over the planet. His recent victory at the WSOP 1 Million Big One for 1 Drop established him as the man on top of the All-Time money charts. The 10 million dollar cash prize propelled him to the top, ahead of contemporary Daniel Negraneu.

Bonomo in 2018 won the Macau and the May Aria Super High Roller cashing a whopping 10 million dollars total, these were just 8 of the Super High Roller events he won last year. His money winnings are no match for a majority of poker pros in the World. A statistical comparison shows that the American has made more money in 2018, than some pros make in their lifetimes. His live poker earnings amount to over 42 million dollars, that is 7 times the amount Doyle Brunson has earned in his career.

What stops him from being on top of this list is his lack of WSOP bracelets. The World Series of Poker is the Mecca of the Poker World. Bonomo currently holds only 3 WSOP brackets. However the poker genius has years to go in his career and is on his way to give the legends a run for their money. There is no doubt that if the man maintains this level of consistency, it would only be a matter of time before he becomes the most successful player in the game.
