Ils n'étaient que 3 à revenir dans la nuit de mercredi à jeudi, tous assurés d'un gain de 3 millions de dollars. Aldemir avait plus que Holmes et Jack Oliver au niveau des jetons, il avait aussi une expérience incomparable au regard du parcours pokeristique de ses derniers adversaires.
Mais devenir champion du monde cela se mérite et il a fallu se battre au Jour 9 pour conqéurir la couronne. Holmes a véritablement montré un superbe poker et l'écart supposé entre lui et Aldemir n'a pas toujours été évident. La magie du Main Event !
Aldemir a véritablement du s'employer pour gagner la totalité de jetons lors de l'ultime session. Holmes et Oliver ont eux lutté pour affronter l'Allemand en head's up, le duo s'affrontant à de nombreuses reprises.
La décision s'est faite au bout de trois heures de jeu, Holmes payant le shove de l'Anglais avec 
. Devant à l'abattage, Oliver va voir son 
exploser en vol, un apparaissant au tableau.
Holmes a prouvé qu'il savait tenir les cartes en terminant 213e du Main Event 2019 (pour 50 855$). Dans la position de l'Underdog pour ce dernier duel, il a montré qu'il était un bon joueur... qui a tenté sa chance pour gagner.
Koray Aldemir avait un avantage de plus de 2 contre 1 en jetons à l'entame du head's up, il va se faire grignoter par un adversaire qui va s'emparer au moins deux fois des commandes.
"J'étais stressé au début de l'affrontement... c'est logique après 10 jours de poker et 5-6 dernières journées pleines sans trop de sommeil", a indiqué le vainqueur. "Tu ne dors que 5-6 heures, tu es au centre de l'attention, tout le monde regarde, ce n'est pas facile. Un énorme respect pour les autres joueurs, ils ont montré un gros niveau. C'était vraiment une expérience folle", a-t-il continué.
Pour la première fois depuis deux jours, Aldemir n'avait plus d'avance, il a su réagir et s'adapter à la résistance de l'amateur américain. L'Allemand a augmenté le curseur de l'agressivité et les débats se sont équilibrés un long moment, Holmes ne cédant pas un pouce de terrain.
Le joueur d'Atlanta s'est finalement fait attraper avec une Top Paire. Sur la dernière main, Holmes a ouvert à 6 millions sur les blindes 1,2 - 2,4 millions (2,4 millions) et Aldemir a payé avec 
pour trouver un flop parfait.
Holmes a envoyé une mise de continuation avec 
sur 
et a décidé de payer le check - raise adverse à 19 millions avec sa hauteur. Le au tournant va faire basculer la partie.
Aldemir a alors misé 36,5 millions et s'est fait payer. La rivière 
va permettre un dernier acte explosif. Aldemir a fait preuve de finesse en checkant après 90 secondes de réflexion... Holmes lui a répondu en misant 133 millions et tapis pour l'équivalent de ce qu'il y avait au milieu! Avec 140 millions de jetons devant lui, l'Allemand va mettre trois minutes à payer pour mettre fin au tournoi. Son adversaire d'Atlanta se consolera avec 4,3 millions de dollars.
"Au flop c'est comme si j'avais les nuts, sur le tournant je suis toujours heureux et mon plan était de check-call la rivière car il a montré qu'il savait jouer et appuyer sur la gachette. Bon j'ai du bien réfléchir car c'est un moment clé évidemment... si je perds cette main il ne me reste que 5 blindes. Je suis content d'avoir fait ce call", a terminé le champion du monde 2021.
