Anyone can win a WSOP Circuit ring, but it takes a talented individual to win two. That’s what Mark Bonsack did in Event #6 $365 Limit Omaha 8 or Better when he topped a field of 134 players to win $11,254. The win gave Bonsack, who finished 12th in last year’s National Championship, his second non-hold’em ring—the other came in 2011 in a $365 H.O.R.S.E. event at Harvey’s Lake Tahoe for $7,484.
“Hopefully I’ll get back to [the National Championship] and have another chance at it,” said Bonsack, a 52-year-old contractor from Cle Elum, Washington. “I really want to get a bracelet. I probably still need a few more [points], but I’m close.”
The good news is that Bonsack will be back at the National Championship. Thanks to his deep run here in the Main Event, Bonsack will either win and earn a seat or capture the stop's Casino Championship. Either way, he's in. Now all Bonsack is focused on is improving over his finish here last year when he took fifth for $25,127.
Here's a look at the WSOP Circuit Horseshoe Council Bluffs Ring Event #6 Limit Omaha Eight or Better final table:
Blair Hinkle opened for 60,000 from the cutoff and Brendan Waite defended from the big blind. The latter check-called bets of 90,000 and 180,000 on the flop and turn respectively, and then led out for 420,000 on the river.

The action folded around the table to Mark Bonsack in the small blind. Electing to raise to 80,000, Bonsack got reraised by Trevor Deeter's all in of 575,000. Bonsack snap-called and their cards were turned up:

The hand began when Trevor Deeter opened for 60,000 from the hijack and Garcia called from the cutoff. Waite called from the button and Blair Hinkle came along from the big blind, and it was four-way action to the flop. Two checks put action on Garcia and he bet 110,000, which only Waite called. Garcia then check-called a bet of 135,000 on the turn before checking the river.
Waite took the opportunity to bet a hefty 435,000, and after thinking about it for 90 seconds or so, Cord called. Waite anxiously tabled the for quads, and Cord lobbed his cards to the muck while dropping to 400,000.
