A familiar face won event #44 of the World Series of Poker. Jeff Lisandro took down his third (!) bracelet of the year, tying a WSOP record for most bracelets in a single year.
I really can’t get over the dominance. When you think of how many great players out there only have one (or none), It’s pretty astounding that a guy could walk in and make it a triple.
Lisandro’s latest win came on the $2,500 Razz event. The final table was comprised of Michael Craig, Warwick Mirzikinian, Steve Diano, Allen Bari, Ryan Fisler, Kenna James, Eric Rodawig and Lisandro.
Entering the final eight with a commanding chip lead, Lisandro went to his usual business of domination, knocking out anyone in his path. Michael Craig had the unfortunate duty of standing between Lisandro and his 3rd bracelet and got $116,405 for his troubles.
To add another notch on his belt, Jeff becomes the 4th player in WSOP history to win events in the three versions of stud. As you’ll remember, Lisandro won the Seven Card Stud initially and then the Seven Card Stud Hi-Lo.
When a guy is on a tear like this, it’s tough to imagine anyone really getting in his way. Without going overboard, do you think it’s too much to consider him winning another event? There are more Stud events coming up, and his domination could continue. Do you think he could take down Event 53 – $1,500 Stud Hi-Lo?
I must say that after threatening to strangle the on-line dude ( forget his name) during the 2005 main event televised nationally by ESPN. Jeffrey has indeed come up in my eyes by scoring this unprecedented stud triple crown. Bravo Jeffrey great accomplishment Now lose that ridiculous lid.
I am NOT jealous! 3 bracelet, what’s that? I have 4 on me… oops! I didn’t win them I had to buy them.
Great work Jeffory Lisandro! Good luck in next one! I’ll pray for you…
