23-year-old Michael Banducci took one down for the 'young monsters' as ESPN's Norman Chad put it, winning his first ever World Series of Poker bracelet. Banducci clinched the title when his A-J held up against opponent Jeff Williams' A-5 in a preflop all in confrontation. When asked by Chad if he now considers himself the world's greatest, Banducci replied, "I'm definitely one step closer!"
