Bonomo out at bodog, and is Isildur2 on the way? Get the facts in today’s PTPN Hit and Run.

Justin “zeejustin” Bonomo is apparently out at bodog, according to this story at pokernewsdaily.com. The story says his picture was taken down from the Web site on Saturday. David Williams and Evelyn Ng are the only bodog pros left standing after the departure of Jean-Robert Bellande in the fall. If there’s any other news out of this story, we’ll let you know.

The Pokerstars Caribbean Adventure begins on Monday with a super-satellite to the main event. Story here from poker-king.com. There are 47 events in this year’s PCA, ending on Jan. 14. The main event starts on Tuesday. The PCA has become one of the biggest stops on the poker circuit, due to the warm weather locale in winter, and PokerStars’ promotion through satellites.

This is from last year, but it’s still pretty interesting (thanks to pokerati for digging this up). Last year the biggest pot in online poker history was played between Patrik Antonius and Isildur1, for $1.3 million. The video below shows some other hands from the session, culminating with the big one at the end, with some nice commentary:

Speaking of pokerati, there’s a fun poll over there right now, asking what the most likely poker event of 2010 is. (Look on the right side after you click the link.) We voted for “Isildur2 rumored to be a bot.”

There’s still stories trickling in wrapping up the decade and 2009 — here’s one where Card Player interviews its player of the year, Eric Baldwin. He posted four tournament wins, including a World Series of Poker bracelet, and 17 major live final tables.

It’s a new year, why not try a new site? You can get one of the best rakeback deals with a new account at Cake Poker.
