“Nordberg” as he is known online, won his first WSOPC event in May last year, when he defeated top Canadian pro Gavin Smith in New Orleans. And it was a case of Déjà vu for Smith in San Diego, as Feldman proved his conqueror once again, making quad sevens to knock Smith out in seventh place.
Feldman played a solid game throughout this tournament, and arrived on the final table with a decent chip lead. Feldman used it well, keeping himself out of dangerous pots but continually building his stack.
Even so, when the heads-up stage was reached he and Davidson Matthew held reasonably equal chip stacks, and the two players remained on an even keel right up until the final hand.
On a flop showing As-Kd-Ts Matthews moved all-in, setting Feldman to a decision for almost all of his chips. Feldman went into the tank, and then made the call, showing A-K for top two pair. Matthews, with A-4 was in need of a miracle. Only running fours, running tens or a queen and a jack could save him. But the miracle never happened, and Feldman was a WSOPC champion for a second time.
