2012 WSOP: DAY 35 RECAP - VILANDOS SHOWS THE KIDS HOW IT'S DONE


EVENT #50 |
5K NO-LIMIT HOLD'EM |
1,001 ENTRIES | 4.7M PRIZEPOOL


They needed one more day to take care of business in the 5K NLH event. Most predicted that Dan Smith (the #1 ranked poker player on the QuadJacks Player of the Year Leaderboard - powered by PTPRpoker) and Kyle Julius (2012 QJ/PTPR Rank: 7th) would be battling for the title while the short stack, Panayote "Peter" Vilandos (2012 QJ/PTPR Rank: 58th) would be on the outside looking in shortly after extra day play began.

Well, we were all so wrong as Vilandos got the best of the two young guns, winning the bracelet!

Julius would end up losing the heads-up battle, Smith finished third, adding to his already #1 total.

Thomas Conway (2012 QJ/PTPR Rank: T-124th), Matt Giannetti (2012 QJ/PTPR Rank: T-508th), Tommy Vedes (2012 QJ/PTPR Rank: 10th) and Amir Lehavot (2012 QJ/PTPR Rank: T-688th) and made the final table.

Chamath Palihapitya, Andrea Dato, Daniel Perper, Konstantin Puchkov, Joseph Cheong, Jason Wheeler and Thiago Nishijima all finished in the Top 18.

Pete Vilandos $952,694
