WPT VENICE GP: FROM RUSSIAN, WITH LOVE - BOGDANOV CONQUERS ITALY

PHOTO CREDIT/SOURCE: WPT.com

Russian Rinat Bogdanov defeated a slew of Italians and one persistent Swiss in order to conquer Venice and win the WPT Venice Grand Prix ... which he did!

Bogdanov didn't have much in the way of live tournament cashes prior to Friday, just a few scores at Merit events in Cyprus and that was it. That all changed today.

Bogdanov picks up over 300K US for the win ... it wasn't an easy journey - our two feature players from Thursday, chip leader Andrea Dato (2011 PTPR Rank: 165th) and Simon Ravnsbaek Ravnsbaek (2011 PTPR Rank: 283rd) decided to take the aggressive route during final table play, yet, neither player was able to do better than third.



FINAL TABLE PAYOUTS
1st Rinat Bogdanov - €229,800
2nd Alessandro Longobardi - €111,700
3rd Andrea Dato - €72,275
4th Simon Ravnsbaek - €52,565
5th Gianluca Trebbi - €42,705
6th Andrea Carini - €32,195
