Holden has already guaranteed himself a minimum $782,115 pay-out - almost £500,000 - after making the final table.
"It's absolutely insane to think I'm in the last nine of the World Series of Poker," he told Kent Online.
The youngster added: "It was always a dream to make it this far but I never really expected it to happen. It still hasn't really sunk in.
"It would obviously be disappointing to finish ninth, but I'll be happy as long as I play well. I'm definitely going to play to win it."
