Rinat Bogdanov is the WPT Venice Grand Prix Champion

Rinat Bogdanov has just joined the WPT Champions Club after defeating Alessandro Longobardi in only two hands of heads up action. Here is the final hand…

Alessandro Longobardi raises to 200,000 holding [Kh] [Qd] and Rinat Bogdanov calls holding [6c] [4c]. Our final flop of the WPT Venice Grand Prix is [Qh] [7d] [4d] and Bogdanov check-calls a 60,000 Longobardi c-bet. On the turn, Bogdanov hits two pair when the [6s] comes down from the sky. Bogdanov plays it cool, once more, and it is another check-call, this time for 240,000.

On the river we see the [4s] and Bogdanov remains composed and checks for a third and final time. Longobardi bets 300,000 and Bogdanov cannot contain his excitement. A smirk comes over his face as he moved all-in. Longobardi looks to the sky, checks his cards and then makes the call. Bogdanov turns over his hand and Longobardi gets to his feet to congratulate the new WPT Champion.

Bogdanov takes home €229,800 and Longobardi takes home €111,700.
