Panayote "Pete" Vilandos Wins Event 24 - $1,500 No Limit Hold'em ($607,256)

After a very late night yesterday and a pretty early start today, we have come to the end of Event 24 at a surprisingly reasonable hour. After the initial few bustouts saw the tournament move to the ESPN feature table ten- handed, the pace slowed -- but once they got into the serious money, no-one wasted any time getting their chips in the middle. By the time Vilandos and Andy Seth went heads up, the stacks were very deep indeed, at roughly 75 big blinds apiece. Nonetheless, the chips went in and after the Ax, Kx, vs Ax, Qx cooler it was a mere ten minutes work for Vilandos to finish off Seth. Congratulations to all our final tablists, and most especially to the eventual champion, Panayote "Pete" Vilandos. From Event 24, it's over and out.

Tomas Alenius

Congratulations to Tomas Alenius, Champion of Event No. 26 ($197,488)

A field of 643 came out for the $1,500 Limit Hold'em event, and when all was said and done Tomas Alenius of Sweden had claimed all of the chips, one bet at a time. This marks Alenius' second WSOP cash this summer -- and fifth overall -- and his first WSOP gold bracelet.

There were 15 players left standing after the first two days and 20 levels of play, at which point Al "Sugar Bear" Barbieri held the chip advantage. When play began today, escalating stakes quickly caught up with half of the field, and in just two levels the field had shrunk to six players. With six left, Barbieri was still the clear leader with nearly 1.2 million chips, with Glenn Engelbert his nearest competitor at the time with 465,000. However, after the shorter-stacked players, Dominik Kulicki and Demetrios Arvanetes, went out in sixth and fifth, respectively, Engelbert found himself on the slide. Unfortunately for him, Engelbert found it necessary to commit the last of his chips on a hand when Alenius held pocket aces, and he went out in fourth.

The three remaining players -- Barbieri, Alenius, and Jason Tam -- were nearly even in chips when three-handed began, but Sugar Bear quickly lost ground and was out in third. When heads-up play began, Tam had a 3-to-1 chip advantage with 2.175 million to Alenius' 720,000. But with limits of 40,000/80,000 -- and eventually 50,000/100,000 -- a couple of good hands could change things quickly. And change they did.

After over an hour of back-and-forthing, Alenius had the big advantage, and eventually all of the chips. Congratulations to Tomas Alenius, champion of Event No. 26! Thanks for following our coverage here on PokerNews.

Über World Series of Poker (WSOP):

Die World Series of Poker, oder kurz WSOP, ist eine Reihe von Pokerturnieren, die jedes Jahr in Las Vegas ausgetragen werden.

Die World Series of Poker finden jährlich im Rio All-Suite Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas statt.

Die World Series of Poker ist die grösste und prestigeträchtigste Pokerveranstaltung der Welt. Mit einer umfassenden Liste von Turnieren in allen wichtigen Pokervarianten ist die WSOP das am längsten laufende Pokerturnier der Welt und geht auf das Jahr 1970 zurück.

Darüber hinaus hat die WSOP bahnbrechende Allianzen in den Bereichen Rundfunk, digitale Medien und Unternehmenssponsoring gebildet und die Marke mit der Einführung der WSOP Europe im Jahr 2007 und der WSOP Asia-Pacific im Jahr 2013 sowie der WSOP International Circuit Series im Jahr 2015 erfolgreich international ausgebaut.

Ursprünglich wurden die Tourniere in Las Vegas Downtown im Binion's Horseshoe Casino ausgetragen. Im Jahre 2005 kaufte Caesars den Brand WSOP. Seit diesem Datum werden die Pokermeisterschaften im Rio All Suite Hotel and Casino durchgeführt.
