WPT VENICE GP: DATO DOES IT AGAIN - FINAL TABLES IN VENICE

PHOTO CREDIT/SOURCE: WPT.com

Andrea Dato has indeed done it again. For the second time in a few months, he has reached a WPT Final Table in Venice - this time at the WPT Venice Grand Prix!

Dato is hoping that he can get it done in his homeland this time around - he picked up a fourth place finish at WPT Venice in December.

Dato (2011 PTPR Rank: 165th) had a great end to 2011 - collecting over 260K in winnings - including a deep run at the WSOP (NLH Triple Draw) good for 138K!

Swiss player Simon Ravnsbaek sits in second place behind the Italian - and he certainly will be a tough challenge for Ravnsbaek, who is the defending Danish Championships title holder. Ravnsbaek (2011 PTPR Rank: 283rd) has been a consistent point producer on the circuit for a few years now.

Rinat Bogdanov (2011 PTPR Rank: NR), 2008 La Note del Poker Champion Alessandro Longobardi (2011 PTPR Rank: NR), Andrea Carini (2011 PTPR Rank: 1483rd) and Gianluca Trebbi round-out final table play.
