Props to Holms, incredible to be down to 1 BB and make 2nd
when was he down to 1 BB ?
Christophe B during the beginning of Day 7
That was the kid that come 3rd who had 1 big blind left
@@zeil1time145 no it wasn't
@@zeil1time145 no it wasn’t. It was the black dude from Atlanta, Holmes I believe is his name. It most def WAS NOT Oliver who was down the Just 1 “big”. They even mentioned that exact fact at least several times during this final table too?! So I don’t understand how you think it was Oliver who was down to just one big left?! 🤦🏻♂️
Holmes floating the check-raise on the flop without a heart in his hand was the first nail in the coffin.
The fundamentals caught up with him
That flop is a check-behind against a BB-defense range nearly all the time, especially with Holmes' particular hand. I give him a ton of credit for his play on the river, though. It would have been very easy to take a free showdown with such a showdownable hand, but he recognized he was likely beat and that was a bad river for Aldemir. Holmes is a terrific feel player, but his fundamentals are lacking.
@@seangarner2687 He never thought he was beaten, he was stunned he lost for some reason, when he bet 37 million I would have put him on a set or 2 pairs.
@@seangarner2687 I’m not sure if he was going for value or bluffing the way he looked a little shocked at the end. You could take KQ to showdown but you could’ve also bet smaller and if you get checkraised find a fold
agree 100%. Not checking back the kind of showdown value holding KQ was the final no doubt. One of those spots where you're only getting called with better and folding out anything less. stacks make it tough but i can see maybe 1/3 pot to target like KJ or A10 type hands but that shove was so over the top. big words from someone who didn't just win 4.3 milli but still
Big gratz to Aldemir! And of course Holmes, what a guy and what a run
This....congrats to both, well played!!
One of the most entertaining final table of recent years - with a deserved winner. Congratulations to Koray.
Was it? I didnt get to watch it cause it was behind a paywall.
@@Dizzzyyy69420 it was like $6 dude shut up
@@Dizzzyyy69420 I'm with you. Not sure what they are trying to accomplish. Would think that it is there best interest to try to grow poker which is shrinking.
I know most people root for the amateurs, but personally I think it's really cool to see a high roller reg win it. That's just so rare. Jacobson had played a few high roller before winning, but Aldemir is a different level. The biggest name to win the Main in the post-Moneymaker era.
Ensan was an EPT main event champ before winning wsop main 2 years ago too
@@kingsally2864 dude, Ensan wouldn't be able to beat the midstakes consistently. the kid who won this beats the highest stakes tournaments on earth consistently.
@@shikeridoo oh if you wanna go that route that def Jacobson. he had 6m in cashes before winning the main and was already playing 100k and 25ks
@@shikeridoo Those highest stakes tournaments typically have the same 30+/- people in them.
@@kingsally2864 it's just about the fact that it's rare for high stakes crushers to win the event because it's got such a big field. Jacobson was another one, true.
I really hate the way that WSOP is turning into a show with fans on the rail. A true gentleman would as the first act after winning or losing a HU for the title, shake hands with he’s opponent.
Yep. I'm quite glad that his opponent ran his shaking hand across his nose and mouth in preparation for his opponent to show some respect.
@@reverendv8900 lol
Yea that was a little disrespectful. Rude Euros
How disrespectful to have other tournaments happening at the same time as the Main Event. Cheering in the background makes this feel like some 1.5k week 1 bracelet event.
Was thinking the same thing, and no television options for the Main really with pokergo bs….. dud of a main.
disrespectful? lmfao... stfu
jesus christ, humans are so soft nowadays
Remember when it used to be a big deal and they had it in the Penn n Teller theater
@@skillfuldabest at least i have thick skin,
imagine calling something so miniscule "disrespectful", hahahhhahahahha
disrespectful to WHO?! hhahahahahha
@@skillfuldabest you literally just contradicted yourself
"the supposed" prestige? it's taking away from a factual "supposedly"?
how is it even humanly possible to be THIS butthurt (no class, takes away supposed prestige, disrespectful) hahahahahahah
Wanted Holmes to win but Koray was unstoppable nearly the entire tourney., very well played.
Really missed watching it on ESPN !! Most exciting time of year for us poker fans❤️🧡💛💚💙💜
Yep. The way pokergo kept giving broken up little bits on CZcams was frustrating.
Trying to make money off people watching. Ill never give that site a dime.
It will be on CBS sports channel later.
Yeah having this paywalled is killing public interest in poker
If you are mad at someone be mad at Disney. The last few years they have cutting costs where ever they can. On Air Talent, support personnel and programming where the cost outweighed the financial return.
And to quote Joe Hachem, "watching poker has become as exciting as watching paint dry." Most players who are elite learned from online and have 0 personality. To the casual poker TV viewer, watching a live stream of poker is boring. It worked well when it was in the edited 1 or 2 hour long episode form. Most people can't or won't sit and watch a 12 hour final table.
@@redbaron779 id watch a 4 hour highlight video of a 12 hour final table quite happily
Main event, heads up, effectives stack all in, chip leader in the tank. And I can't help but wonder what's goin on at that other table.
it was probably the brazilian crowd on Event #77 where Paulo Joanello won!
I was assuming it was the celebration from the main, but on a slight delay.
Its crazy how theres another event going while this Main event is happening for literally 8 million dollars 🤣🤣🤣
@@gnosh27 think you’re right.. heard the classic “Porra!!!!”

Aldemir is a good champ. Played well and caught cards. And he knows how good he ran to get there. Well done sir.
He got lucky a lot
@@georgeowen2083 everyone who wins such a tournament needs luck at some point
@@georgeowen2083 , yeah. He got lucky a lot of time
@@michaelss1294 Holmes was down to one big blind in day 7, he got very lucky to even make the final table
You can't win a tournament with so many participants using only your skill. It's simple as that.
Büyük cesaret tebrikler Koray kardeş.
Holmes was down to 1BB, came back to make it to heads-up and was even with his opponent. His run was beyond impressive. 1BB!!! And he's American. I was rooting so hard for him. He still made poker history with that run.

Was actually 9 days (7 to get to the final table, down to 3 on day 8, and final 3 on day 9), but yes indeed.
Bestimmt!
Hard to be excited when we couldn't even watch the final table on ESPN or a free stream like we used to.
Come on bro I pay $5.8/month for Poker Go and got a lot of content for it.
@@ionelmasca2791 What about all the players that aren't already in the poker community? Are they going to pay for it? What about all the potential players we could get if it was on ESPN or Twitch like it used to be? What about all thousands of videos they've copyright striked across youtube; can't even find old WSOP and poker cash games now. The money you pay literally goes straight to the owner of PokerGO. It is one of the shittiest things to happen to poker.
@@RivaRiva222 Agree, poker is way down my list of things I am willing to pay to watch.
@@theoriginaltylerdurden you are not a Poker fan if you don t want to pay for it.
@@RivaRiva222 that is true but they put some Poker content online. Let s face it I totally agree with you exccept there are 1 million hours of Poker on YT (both live and online) so you cannot say ppl cannot get a taste of it. When I fell in love with the game I did not watch a single video I was playing 8 hrs/day on a fake money app. The big Poker boom is going to come when USA, Italy, Spain, France and Portugal join the World Shared Liquidity Market in online Poker and I am very optimist about it. That s going to be the biggest boom in Poker history. Let s bring Poker back in the US because without those people in Binion Shoe and without Moneymaker the great game of Poker would never have been here.
Too bad we didn't have access to the full final table to watch him win. Thank you Pokergo for your greed.
14 dollars isn’t much man
@@denismonterodiaz476 true that
@@denismonterodiaz476 True, but it would be great for the Poker community for the main event to be free. Many have started because of these tournaments were being live televised for free in the first place
So says the communist
Gotta love how the biggest game of the year has another game running in the background and you can hear them screaming.. Brilliant.
What was the other game going on? Was it a poker game or were they watching sports on TV?
They both played great. Much respect to both.
Epic battle!!!! Gratz to both. George should feel awesome how he played like a true champion 🏆
Epic battle. Massive respect to Holmes, ballsy and well thought out shuv but a great call and a great champ. Seemed on his absolute A game the whole time. Combining great reads with well thought out strategy. Congrats to both!
Congrats to both players!! Great run, for Aldemir and Holmes!! Welcome to the Millionaire Club!! ♥️♦️♣️♠️
What a wild finish to the greatest tournament in the world. Both these guys played awesome, exciting poker. Was a fun one.
Lets be honest holmes played the last hand like the fish that he is 😅
@@Blaybuttne let’s be really honest keyboard warrior critical of 2nd place finisher that was down to 1 BB in tournament. He may have been representing QJh. It’s wasn’t a terrible play but he could have gotten away on flop.
@@poltad I mean… shoving there makes no sense. Pretty fishy move
@@brianmeeth1512 how doesn't it? Easily could have had K 10, QJ, 10 9 with the way the hand played out thus why the actual pro didn't snap call. Guarantee if you ask him this wasn't an easy call as he knew whose were options heck even K 2 or K 7 are possible the way the hand played out.
@@Blaybuttne Holmes played great and he went for it on the final hand. Can't fault him for it. He put Aldemir in a super tough spot and forced him to make a world-class call. He has no reason not to hang his head high.
Great job Koray! What an awesome tournament from him.
So happy to see Homes get to the end, great story.
as great as anyone winning a lottery
@@piotrsiara5208 or you implying he was just being very lucky and there's no skill involved?
Next year they need a 30 second clock with time extension chips it just got really out of control this year
This year and most every year, just takes a few to make it boring.
It's part of the game. People need to think.
@@jfabs Not to this degree. Part of the challenge is to assimilate information quickly and make decisions based on this. If you cant process quickly enough that's your problem. Shot clock please.
Great to finally see an already established world class player win the main. A player worthy of having the title of world champion. Congrats to Koray!
Love them both! Either way I would have been happy. They are both deserving of the title.
Feel a little sad for Holmes but happy for Aldimir (sp).
Holmes is definitely going to inspire more home game action out there. He was fun to watch. Aldemir also an amazing player. I agree, this heads up battle was a win win for us viewers.
I like Holmes too, but I don't ever feel sorry for someone winning $4.3 million! He played great and changed his life with that $$
Especially für someone who has at one point just 1bb left… to spin that up to a runner up fit over 4 Million dollar :D
Step 1: Place 90% of the event behind a paywall
Step 2: Spoil the outcome for clickbait
Step 3: ?
Step 4: Profit!
Wow George didn’t think he won, he KNEW he won. Great run but him sure he’s devastated.
Congrats Koray, big performance all the way!
Idk why but the Main Event just doesn't seem as big as the other years. Since when do they have a table going on while the Main Event is happening
Was waiting for this to drop lmao on a budget right now
Holmes was great to watch down the stretch and played well. Chip and a chair lives on. What a huge call by Aldemir at the end!! Great player! Holmes was stunned
Lol. He is never folding 2 pair. He winked then slow rolled. Tacky
Congrats! Really good run!
Congrats Mr. Aldemir 🇩🇪 🥳
Aldemir played amazingly. What a call when the straight was possible. Props to Holmes for living every amateur’s dream as well
Lol straight possible
Aldemir bet flop and got raised on T72 flop and called. Amazing that he didn't put him on QJ or J8 when the board ran out K 9?
@@parlayin might wanna rewatch that hand
@@parlayin yes the straight was definitely possible he’s not blocking with the 10 and Holmes could definitely have QJ in his hand
Look at holmes eyes when he sees the two pairs LOL
Aldermir is a top tier poker player who has yet to establish his true ranking in Poker. Like prodigy yet to be fully discovered. His patience, logic, deep thinking, CPU/Processing power... Simply outstanding. Holms was great too, to make it at the final in second place. Not a fan of the chronic bluffing strategy, but it worked for him until that last hand's All In decision
I was rooting for Holmes, he seemed like a Sure lock. But seriously, they need 30 second time limits and time extension chips next year. It's getting unwatchable, I found myself skipping forward in so many 5-10 minute hands that were heads up during this tournament.
lol the recreational player seemed like a sure lock?
I think you forget that they are playing for millions
@@kephartacus5454 Sherlock Holmes? Holmes could have won though, I was rooting for him to beat the pro.
@@pamc1997 I think that unwatchable poker is still unwatchable, no matter the stakes. LATB and Hustler Live both have time chips and time extensions no matter the stakes, and there are frequently single pots in those games that are 100k-300k, and I have seen many pots higher than that. 1 minute per hand decision, and each player has a preset amount of additional extension chips. Tournament poker has become far less watchable, it's just not as interesting anymore because players frequently tank 2-5 minutes per hand decision. Time extension chips would be game changers for viewers.
Not for big tournaments.
2003-2006 best years of poker on TV..... Now wsop is just flat out boring....
Bravo à lui tres beau tournoi et bravo à holmes très bon joueur il m’a bcp plu
Not anywhere near an expert but maybe Holmes got a bit impatient there with the all in. Fatigue may have been creeping in with that decision.
massive hero call from Aldemir, big gg to them both
cmon guys...spoilers... havent watched final table yet. Open my youtube and this thumbnail and title slap me in the face.
Seems like Aldemir just put everyone to sleep by taking absolutely forever on every single hand. I couldn't even stand to watch this video till the end.
Congrats to this guy, he deserved it and played well everyday yo ear this W. Facts 💯
I was there on the rail live watching the whole thing. George put up a fierce fight.
This is what you want to see. A random middle aged man making it really far.
Middle aged? How old are you? 12?

@@lordwetinari The story is about Aldemir. If the OP is referencing his opponent, he failed to make that clear.
There was some big ball plays by Holmes
2nd place is for losers
Fr it was looking like he was about to take it at the start of the head to head
what balls? Nobody would buy J8. Or trips. Obv pair at max.
He probably thought he had the best hand
@@blandon93 JQ got there, and KT got him beat as well, i agree not on J8 or trips at the river
Could remember Koray form the PCA 2018 main event final, where he finished 3rd, and now he's the world champion, what a story to tell
Congrats to both.
Quite the call there.
Holmes played like a G at this final table. I could criticize (value/bluff??) shoving the river, but he never would have gotten to heads up had he not played as aggressively as he did.
Once you're there you need to slow down, especially in hands such as this. That board was far too connected and the pot was already super bloated. In this exact situation one can say they know exactly what they would've done and that's check back the river. His big bluffs on the river earlier is why he got called. If you don't alter your play it will be noticed and you'll suffer for it.
It's time for a shot clock 100% enough is enough.
Agree. Congrats to them both but this is why watching (and playing) tournament poker is insufferable. 10 minutes to play a single hand 50BB deep, even HU this is ridiculous. Somebody, anybody, please call the clock.
What is shot clock? But yes I agree what are players so often thinking about so long for a simple call u know.
Wow! Great finish. Very tough call on the river...
Congrats champ!
It's like Holmes got bored, backed himself into a corner then just said agh what the heck all in ill take the 4 mil
@Hunter B. I need to pee 🤣🤣👍
mental tiredness after hours and hours of playing. Happens a lot
@@fonsecakoch2 yeah hear what your saying but I think the 4 mill difference would focus my mind. But at the same time I wouldn't have been in the final. He did so well really
the two probably already split the prize pool before the heads up - they're basically playing for a bracelet and prestige.
I think it was obvious that this was Holmes strategy from the start of the day when they were three handed. He moved all-in frequently and 3-bet light. He knew that the was the weakest player and he knew he would lose quickly if he allowed Koray Aldemir to control the action and play small ball. So Holmes decided to force Aldemir to make tough decisions and gamble. It's not a bad strategy when you are outclassed. Holmes actually made life difficult for Aldemir. Unfortunately, he took a bad spot in that last hand. The all-in is a bad bet with negative EV. 90% of the time when he gets called, he is beat. So why bet if you only get called by hands that beat you. He should have checked or possible thin value bet for 40M.
Been following the tourney since it started just for the thumbnail and title to spoil the winner ….
Same here. I blocked this channel from popping up in my feed. Really thoughtless on their part.
Seriously. Why would an advertisement include the spoiler? Glad I didn't pay for it
What a sick call. And great move by Holmes (although he should not have been in the hand after the check raise). So easy for Holmes to have QJ hearts, or K10 in that spot. The fact that it was so even in chip stacks made the call essentially the whole tourney for both players. Would have been really interesting to see what Koray would have done if the river was another heart.
Corey true OG pro. Love to see it gratz.
Great call in the end. Not an easy one to make given the stakes.
2 pair. He is never folding
@@dannygilberg5491 yeah because you've been in that position in your life with 8 million at stake with the world title on the line after beating 6500 other players. Yeah it was an easy call.🤔
It’s actually a snap call given the circumstances, if u fold your down to 8mil chips which is like 3 BB at this point. Your gonna lose either way against the opponents monster stack advantage. With a two pair you can never ever fold
@@joshuaexposito9814 what are you talking about? If he folds he still has 141 million chips??

Seriously! What a disservice to the poker players, and especially to the ones that made it to final table out of 6,000+ players.
But nobody watched it when it was free, so that doesn't make any sense. If people still watched it, ESPN would have broadcast it live. They got out of the WSOP business, because nobody watched.
@@aaronmyers3330 I guess I could see that, sure is a shame. I always watched it on espn and when I play free local poker we had always had the bar turn it on one of the tv’s by us.

What a sick call at the end. Nice play for both player, and nice play for Holmes who also plays like a pro. Good game
It was big risk call tbh, K10 was in the range of Holmes the way he played his final hand
@@bareWarrior I was saying the same thing k 10 of clubs made way to much sense to make that call
@@jaredlovett7013 I think K10 also raises either the flop or the turn. Draw heavy board so K10 isn't strong enough to just flat two streets and then jam the river.
I don't think K10 was really ever a consideration. K9 maybe, but most likely QJ of hearts.
@@bareWarrior there is always the possibility of value hands, but with a agressive oponnent who was bluffing a lot and you got 2 pairs, flush draw didnt connect... you gotta make the math and take the risk sometimes.
I like a check more from Holmes there on the river way more than a shove
Ya think?
That’s one of the greatest calls of all time
Amazing final!
I’m glad he Aldemir won... I mean it would suck being chip leader at a final table and losing. Which does happen but he played well. Congrats to homie who had one blind and ended up with 87 million on day 7 that’s unreal too and gets second for 4 milli. Good run by both. Great 2021 WSOP main.
Great Tournament and players! What a shame we didn't get to watch it live because the site only cares about exploiting the poker community instead of trying to grow it.
Charging as much as an Amazon Prime membership for a literal fraction of the content. Shameful.
wait?? you mean putting a niche game behind a pay wall ISN'T the best way to grow the game? who would have thought.....
Take money out of poker and it's nothing. Just about the same with everything these days.

Holmes shouldn’t of been in that hand after the check raise
exactly
Shouldn’t have
Wrong. 100 percent wrong. Heads up, if you fold 100 percent of the time you miss with two freaking overcards (which will be A LOT) your op is going to check-raise you till you are felted. There was no issue with a float here. The issue was the river jam. That's it.
I also think the call on the flop is fine, that's how you need to play in HU
@@TP_Gillz perfectly said. The shove was just an awful play. I’m okay with calling the check raise on the flop. The check to him on the river was a gift.

@@jsea8987 what?
Whilst I like the shot clock in some other tourneys, I think giving them time to tank here is fine. Every decision is worth an insane amount of real world money.
The constant tanking is killing televised poker. Even though this was the final hand of the tournament it still took them over ten minutes. No hand should take that long!
@@MartinJB12 PokerGo putting poker behind a paywall is killing televised poker. Players taking 60 seconds on a decision is a very minor factor.

Normally I’d agree with you but there’s four million on the line. If tanking were ever justified, this is the time
The whole thing was like this, not sure when all this tanking got started but it was unbearable this year. Watch next year for introduction of a shot clock
