Pete Vilandos, who won his third bracelet a couple weeks ago in Event #50: No-Limit Hold'em $5,000 buy-in, got his last 20,000 or so all in preflop and was at risk against Daniel Strelitz.
Showdown
| Strelitz |   |
| Vilandos |   |
Vilandos, who was an immigrant from Greece that arrived in the United States when he was 27 years old, was in great shape to double. Unfortunately for him, lady luck favored Strelitz as the flop came down 
. Vilandos was still drawing live to either a king or jack, but it wasn't in the cards as the 
appeared on the turn followed by the 
river. With that, Vilandos was denied his fourth gold bracelet.
