The WPT Venice gets underway today at the stunning Casino Di Venezia in Italy.
The €3,300 WPT Venice Main Event starts at lunchtime today and runs until next Tuesday, February 8 with a first prize of more than half-a-million dollars expected.
Among those arriving in Italy yesterday to play are Tony G, Giovanni Safina, Giovanni Rizzo and Dragan Galic.

The event is televised in the US and Mike Sexton and Jesse May will be in the commentary box with poker babe Kara Scott presenting all the action.
"It's going to be a great event," says Kara. Altough she was spotted wandering around LA International Airport yesterday en-route to London - so we're not sure she's going to make it to Venice in time!
Anyway, if all that doesn't whet your whistle, there's also a €10,000 High Rollers event starting at the same waterside venue next Monday, February 7.
A charity tournament will also be held during the week, with Italian football legend Francesco Totti taking to the baize.
