Jack Duong (South Plainfield, NJ)

Jack Duong (South Plainfield, NJ) has only been around the tournament poker scene for three years, but he's clearly made a name for himself in 2014.  Duong came into the year with just under $75,000 in career tournament earnings.  Three quarters of the way through 2014, they are now $460,000.  Here are Jack's notable finishes so far this year:

WSOP Circuit LA $550 Mega Millions IX - 4th Place - $118,574
WSOP Circuit LA $1,675 Main Event - 5th Place - $58,025
WSOP Event #20 $3,000 NLH Shootout - 4th Place - $85,616
WSOP Event #62 $1,111 NLH Little One Drop - 6th Place - $117,507

That would be two WSOPC final tables and two WSOP final tables in the span of three months, a feat that takes some people years to reach.  Duong joined the field just as Level 12 started, and has not yet been involved in a hand.
