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 RELATED POSTS >> DATO DOES IT AGAIN >> BJERKMANN LEADS VENICE >> O'DWYER O SO CLOSE >> SHALLOW WINS WPT IRELAND NEXT TOUR STOP WPT Seminole Hard Rock Lucky Hearts, Florida February 10-14, 2012 | PTPR PREMIER EVENT World Poker Tour Venice Grand Prix WPT Venice Grand Prix Main Event February 6-10, 2012 Casino di Venezia | Venice, Italy Buy-in: $6,555 | Prizepool: $889,338 Entries: 155 PTPR POINTS DISTRIBUTION RINAT BOGDANOV 126 ALESSANDRO LONGOBARDI 76 ANDREA DATO 46 SIMON RAVNSBAEK 36 GIANLUCA TREBBI 31 ANDREA CARINI 26 JASON WHEELER 26 JEREMIE SOCHET 11 MASSIMO MOSELE 11 ANDREY GULYY 11 GABRIELE LEPORE 11 MARCEL BJERKMANN 9 MARKO NEUMAN 9 JAMES AKENHEAD 9 ERION ISLAMAY 9 KONSTANTIN STRELETSKIY 6 GIACOMO VALENTI 6 GIANLUCA SPERANZA 6 |
