Justin Bonomo is quite familiar with the heads-up matches in the Global Poker League. So far he played three of them and scored some mixed results.

The final match of the day is approaching. In a few moments, Justin Bonomo and Dominik Nitsche will battle it out on the virtual felt.
Nitsche needs to score some points for the Berlin Bears to keep their playoff hopes alive. The Bears are currently in sixth and last place in the Eurasia conference. After Timothy Adams' clean sweep earlier today, they are now ten points behind the Rome Emperors.
So even with three victories, Nitsche won't be able to help his team catch up with the Emperors or one of the other teams. But if he manages to score nine points, they will be just four points behinds the London Royals, who are currently in second.
Nitsche didn't do very well so far in heads-up matches in this Global Poker League. He played this format twice and one heat in both of these matches against Vladimir Troyanovskiy and Scott Ball.
Yesterday, Nitsche performed well in the 6-max tournaments. He won the first heat of the day.
