Koray Aldemir won the 2021 World Series of Poker Main Event in Las Vegas on Wednesday night, taking home the $8 million prize.

Aldemir beat American George Holmes at the final table in the No-limit Hold'em World Championship.

Aldemir won on the 223rd hand with a two-pair of 10s and 7s, besting Holmes' pair of Kings.

Holmes took home $4.3 million as the runner-up. There were 6,650 entries in this year's Main Event.

 

 

223 hands? Ugh, not sure if that's worth 8 million. How focking boring.

It was constantly on television, I played in 3 live games each week, and played non stop online. I miss those days, but have tried several times to get back into it, but it’s boring.

What a great fad.  I still like to play poker once in a blue moon.  But I remember the craze 2002-2006 ish.  Was in high school and over night everyone wanted to play poker.  Everyone all of a sudden had their own briefcase full of chips.  I hardly knew how to play at the time but learned.  Oh to be a fly on that wall with a bunch of us 16 year old dudes thinking we were Chris Moneymaker.  Would be hilarious to see.

A few gaggers with no drinking puts you into the right zone to play well.
