Erik Seidel moved all in and was called by Jack Duong, putting him at risk.
Duong tabled 
, and Seidel showed 
.
The board ran out 
, and Duong took down this back-and-forth match.
After the win, Duong stepped aside for a chat, and he was clearly elated with his victory.
"All my friends laughed and messaged me saying I was gonna get my ass kicked when they saw I was against (Seidel)," he said. "He's, like, one of the most winning players on the planet, and I can't believe that this just happened. Like, is it real? So crazy man."
Duong is no slouch in his own right. When comparing themselves to Seidel, almost any player pales in comparison, but Duong does have a WSOP bracelet from back in 2015, along with 14 WSOP cashes and over $1.6 million in live recorded tournament earnings. He is from South Plainfield, New Jersey and is in his late 20s, with lots of poker left ahead of him.
On another table, Joe Cada was defeated by Chris Moore. Moore was in control of things from start to finish, as Cada was always fighting from behind.
