Final Table Reached at WPT Venice

After 4 days of play in Venice, Italy, the WPT Venice has reached the official final table. Check out some information on the 6 players who hope to become the WPT Venice champion.

Andrea Dato

In 4 days of play, the WPT Venice field has decreased from 155 to just 6. These 6 will commence play on Friday, and all will have their eyes on the €229,800 first-place prize. All of them will receive at least €32,195 for getting this far.

Who's at the final table?

Andrea Dato (1,591,000 chips) - Andrea Dato is an Italian player with over $340,000 in lifetime earnings. His results include a WSOP final table, an IPT final table, and a WPT final table from the last time the tour was in Venice in December. He'll begin this final table with the chip lead, and he hopes to improve on his 4th place finish from the last WPT Venice.

Simon Ravnsbaek (922,000 chips) - Danish Simon Ravnsbaek sits inm 2nd place with somewhat significantly fewer chips than Dato. The bulk of his career earnings came from finishing in 3rd at the 2011 WPT Vienna.

Rinat Bogdanov (907,000 chips) - Russian Rinat Boganov is in 3rd place, and even a 6th place finish would be worth far greater than his career tournament earnings.

Alessandro Longobardi (558,000 chips) - An Italian player with over $300,000 in career earnings, Venice could be Alessandro Longobardi's lucky city. His largest career victory occurred in 2008 at La Notte del Poker in Venice, and he pocketed €70,000 for that win.

Andrea Carini (347,000 chips) - Carini is an Italian player who participates almost exclusively in events held in Italy. This is his first major tournament circuit final table.

Gianluca Trebbi (343,000 chips) - Yet another Italian, Trebbi has over $230,000 in career earnings but is still searching for his first tournament victory.

The final table will begin today at 14:00 CET, and it will be streamed live starting at 14:30 CET.
