Dato Makes Back-to-Back Final Tables at the WPT

By Rusch

Back in December, Andrea Dato had his first real shot at a World Poker Tour title at the WPT Venice event. He came up short, finishing in fourth place.

Now Dato has a shot at redemption, as he will begin the final table of the WPT Venice Grand Prix as the chip leader.

Day 4 action in Venice was short and sweet as the final nine returned to trim the field to the six players that comprise the televised final table. 

Dato ended the day as the chip leader 1,591,000. What makes his accomplishment impressive is that it marks his second straight final table at WPT Venice. He took fourth place at the WPT Venice event last December for $56,822 and will seek to improve on that result when the final table commences on Friday. First place in this event is worth €229,800, which includes a seat to the WPT World Championship at Bellagio in May.

The final is set to get under way at 1400 CET on Friday as the final six play down to a champion and you will be able to watch it live here! 

Here are the final table standings.

Seat 1: Andrea Dato - 1,591,000
Seat 2: Simon Ravnsbaek - 922,000
Seat 3: Andrea Carini - 347,000
Seat 4: Rinat Bogdanov - 907,000
Seat 5: Gianluca Trebbi - 343,000
Seat 6: Alessandro Longobardi - 558,000
