PokerStars Reinstates ZeeJustin’s Account

PokerStars, the worlds largest online poker site, has reinstated professional poker player Justin ‘ZeeJustin’ Bonomo’s player account after he was originally banned from Party Poker back in 2006 , which lead to an investigation into his PokerStars account. The investigation found that he was, in fact, cheating via multiple player accounts and PokerStars banned him.

Lee Jones was PokerStars room manager back in 2006, and he made a post on TwoPlusTwo forums calling out Bonomo and informing the industry that he was guilty of playing multiple accounts throughout tournaments at PokerStars. Money was removed from Bonomo’s player account and was disbursed to players who were affected by his actions in tournaments.

According to PokerNewsDaily.com many of the Team PokerStars Pro’s helped aid Bonomo’s reinstatement. A few of the players include Daniel Negreanu, Barry Greenstein and Greg Raymer. Also, a pro-Bonomo fans were ESPN poker columnist Gary Wise and Bluff Magazine chief Matthew Parvis.

ZeeJustin, the 23 year old poker player has still experienced great success throughout his poker career, despite the negativity and bad reputation he carries. He was picked up by Bodog Poker in 2008, and is on their official team joining Evelyn Ng, David Williams and reality television star Jean-Robert Bellande. As of today, Bonomo has live career tournament winnings that exceed $1.5 million dollars.
