Sam Trickett heads the cast going into today's final day of the World Poker Tour (WPT) Venice Carnival. The new face of Everest Poker and Britain's biggest live tournament earner is second in chips as he pursues his maiden WPT title.

But the man leading the way is Andrea Dato, who will be hoping it's a case of third time lucky in Venice. The Italian has reached the final table on two previous occasions and will return with 1,364,000.

Trickett returns with 911,000 chips, while in third place is Alessio Isaia, looking to regain the title he won in 2011, with a 708,000 stack. Completing the final six are Mario Vojvoda (643,000), Maurizio Saieva (344,000) and Sotirios Koutoupas (344,000).
