Bonsack Finds an Ace

Gary Philstrom raised to 18,000 to open the pot, and Mark Bonsack three-bet shoved for his last 42,000 total. A couple seats over in the blinds, James Smith re-shoved for 113,000 total, and Philstrom made a frustrated fold to let the other two go at it.

Showdown
Bonsack: {A-Diamonds} {Q-Hearts}
Smith: {K-Clubs} {K-Hearts}

There was an ace in the window for Bonsack, and the board ran out {6-Clubs} {2-Spades} {A-Clubs} {Q-Diamonds} {5-Hearts}. Bonsack was already standing up with his backpack over his shoulder, and he was more than happy to slip it right back on his chair and take his seat once again.
