At the beginning of the final day, John was in the 47th place on the participants’ chip count, but that didn’t bother him much. Based on the results of the tournament, he managed to get into the top ten winners who received the Millions Passport packages.
The Scotsman considers his victory quite surreal. Once, he was close to the finals, but back then John took only 18th place and was very disappointed. After that, our hero decided that he would make another attempt and work on his mistakes.
Holmes said that he was happy about the victory as a child, jumping around his apartment with joy. The player immediately called his friends to celebrate this event and drink something stronger than tea.
The euphoria will soon go away, and our hero will need to start serious training to show great play at the Caribbean Poker Party. An interesting is the fact that PartyPoker Team Pro Patrick Leonard volunteered to give a few poker classes to John for free.
Holmes gladly accepted such an offer, as the upcoming event will be the most expensive one in Scotsman’s life. In the Main Event Caribbean Poker Adventure, John will meet famous poker players at tables, therefore, he is looking forward to this event.
