Last Hand:

During the last hand, Aldmir and Holmes faced off after playing 223 hands at the final table. Aldmir held 10-7 suited of Diamonds, while Holmes had K of Clubs and Q of Spades.

The flop favored Aldmir with 10 of Hearts, 2 of Hearts, and 7 of Spades. Aldmir checked, and Holmes placed a bet, to which Aldmir responded with a re-raise. The turn revealed an intriguing card, K of Spades, giving Holmes top pair, and he felt in control of the hand. The river brought 9 of Clubs, leading Holmes to go all-in and forcing Aldmir to contemplate for a long time. Ultimately, Aldmir decided to call Holmes's all-in bet, and the showdown revealed that he made the right choice as his two pairs won the hand and the entire tournament.

Aldmir exhibited high-quality poker skills and emerged as the tournament champion, becoming the second German player to win the tournament in the last three years. Well done!
