Discord.js: interaction has already been acknowledged. Discord Buttons

I'm trying to make a Poker command for my Discord bot, and I want to implement turn system with Discord buttons. The command for now is:

  1. Someone uses the command
  2. The bot sends an embed with a button to join
  3. If join is pressed the player element gets pushed into players array
  4. If start match is clicked, the bot sends cards in dm
  5. Then the bot asks each player if what they want to do in order
  6. If the player chooses, the bot crashes and send me this error: DiscordAPIError: Interaction has already been acknowledged.

I don't know what is causing the problem. Here's code:

const players = [new Player(interaction.user.id, interaction.user.username)];

const hasJoined = [interaction.user];

const playerRow = new Discord.MessageActionRow().addComponents(
    new Discord.MessageButton().setCustomId("join").setLabel("Join").setStyle("SUCCESS"),
    new Discord.MessageButton().setCustomId("start").setLabel("Start Game").setStyle("SUCCESS")
);

const playerEmbed = new Discord.MessageEmbed()
.setTitle(`${interaction.user.username} started a game of Poker Texas hold'em! \nClick the button if you wanna join!`)
.setAuthor({ name: `${interaction.user.username}`, iconURL: interaction.user.displayAvatarURL({ format: "png"})})
.setDescription(`**players:** \n${codeLine(players.map(a => a.name).join("\n"))}`)

interaction.reply({ embeds: [playerEmbed], components: [playerRow] });

const collector =  interaction.channel.createMessageComponentCollector({ time: 90000 });

collector.on("collect", async (i) => {

    await i.deferUpdate();

    if (i.customId == "join") {

        //if (hasJoined.includes(i.user)) return i.editReply(`You are already in game ${i.user}!`);

        players.push(new Player(i.user.id, i.user.username));
        hasJoined.push(i.user);
    
        playerEmbed.setDescription(`**Players:** \n${codeLine(hasJoined.map(a => a.username).join("\n"))}`);

        interaction.editReply({ embeds: [playerEmbed], components: [playerRow] });

        if (hasJoined.length == 8) playerRow.components[0].setDisabled(true);
    }

    if (i.customId == "start") collector.stop();
});

collector.on("end", async () => {

    for (let i = 0; i < players.length; i++) {

        const rcard1 = chance.pickone(deck);
        deck.splice(deck.indexOf(rcard1), 1);
        const rcard2 = chance.pickone(deck);
        deck.splice(deck.indexOf(rcard2), 1);
        
        players[i].card1 = rcard1;
        players[i].card2 = rcard2;

        client.users.fetch(players[i].id).then((user) => {
            user.send(`here you are ${players[i].name}! These are your cards: ${players[i].card1.emoji} ${players[i].card2.emoji}.`);
        });
    }

    const matchRow = new Discord.MessageActionRow().addComponents(
        new Discord.MessageButton().setCustomId("stand").setLabel("Stand").setStyle("SECONDARY"),
        new Discord.MessageButton().setCustomId("double").setLabel("Double").setStyle("SECONDARY"),
        new Discord.MessageButton().setCustomId("fold").setLabel("Fold").setStyle("DANGER")
    );

    const matchEmbed = new Discord.MessageEmbed()
    .setTitle("**Texas hold'em!**")
    .setDescription(`The Small Blind is ${codeLine(players[0].name)} and they bet ${codeLine(bet)} bananas!
    The Large Blind is ${codeLine(players[1].name)} and they double! So ${codeLine(bet * 2)} bananas!`);

    await interaction.editReply({ embeds: [matchEmbed], components: [matchRow] });

    for (let i = 0; i < players.length; i++) {

        const playerFilter = (pInt) => { return pInt.user.id == players[i].id}
        const matchCollector = interaction.channel.createMessageComponentCollector({ playerFilter, time: 90000 });
        
        matchCollector.on("collect", async (int) => {

            await int.deferUpdate();

            if (int.customId == "fold") {

                matchEmbed.setDescription(`${codeLine(players[i].name)} folded!`);

                players.splice(players[i], 1);

            }

            int.editReply({ embeds: [matchEmbed], components: [matchRow], });
        });
    }
});
