WPT VENICE: MAD MARVIN LEADS, ROMANELLO AND O'DWYER HANGING AROUND

PHOTO/SOURCE: WPT.com

We're down to 15 players at WPT Venice and everyone's eyes will be glued to their computer screens as we play down to the final table - with Marvin Rettenmaier, Roberto Romanello and Steve O'Dwyer stealing the headlines!

The one they call Mad Marvin is the man with most chips as we approach Saturday's play. Rettenmaier holds a small chip lead over Michele Caroli after Day 3 play.

Aleksandr Dovzhenko and Arnaud Mattern continue their strong play this season - both round-out the Top 4 chip counts. Mattern was at the WPT Marrakech Final Table with ElkY and Jonathan Duhamel last month.

But the main story continues to be about two men - Roberto Romanello and Steve O'Dwyer. Both players have a shot at taking over from Ben Lamb on the 2011 PTPR Player of the Year Leaderboard.

Neither player had a particularly good day, and both will need to pick up the pace early on Saturday in order to get back into contention. Although both players are near the bottom in chips, both still have enough chips to make things happen on Day 4.

WPT VENICE NOTABLE REMAINING CHIP COUNTS:
Marvin Rettenmaier 817,000
Alex Dovzhenko 730,000
Arnaud Mattern 519,000
Wanny Piazza 304,000 (Day 3 Chip Leader)
Ronnie Bardah 257,000
Roberto Romanello 237,000
Steve O'Dwyer 186,000

Sadly, we lost Taylor Von Kriegenbergh during Day 3 play. Von K - WPT Hard Rock Champion - had the opportunity to pickup valuable points in the event and move into the PTPR Top 15 Leaderboard with a strong showing.
