Bonsack Turns to Voodoo for Luck
Mark Bonsack of Cle Elum, Washington, who qualified for the event after finishing as the Horseshoe Council Bluffs Casino Champion, is a wild character. At the final table of the Council Bluffs Main Event Bonsack grabbed some attention with his camo/Japanese headband garb, proving that he's not afraid to adopt unconventional methods if it helps him to win.
Case in point ... a raccoon penis. It's true. Bonsack explained last night that he visited a local voodoo shop here in New Orleans and asked the girl working, who he described as "goth" with "piercings all over the place," for something that would bring him luck. She promptly gave him a raccoon baculum.
Bonsack didn't say how much he paid for the "lucky charm," but he seemed to believe that it would actually bring him luck in today's event. Only time will tell if that proves true.
Here's hoping he doesn't use it as a card protector!
