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

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.

A hearty congratulations must go to our runner up, Andy Seth, who was one of the stand out class acts during this tournament. His time will surely come.
With a wave of his hand, Vilandos announced all in, and a snap call later they were on their backs.
