WSOP News Update - Jeff Lisandro Makes It Two for 2009

[MJPerry]

Not too long after picking up his second lifetime bracelet in the $1,500 Stud event, Lisandro has made it abundantly clear that he is not to be messed with when it comes to the game with seven cards each.

Lisandro, after besting Farzad Rouhani heads-up, extended his WSOP record to three bracelets, 11 final tables, 29 cashes, and $2,500,451 in winnings. Two very noticeable presences at the final table were septugenarian poker veteran Doyle Brunson, looking for his record-tying 11th bracelet, and young Justin “BoostedJ” Smith, seeking out his first.

However they both fell relatively early and Lisandro triumphed over the field when Rouhani failed to make his low draw and could only reach the river with a pair of twos for high. Lisandro made two pair to scoop the pot and the bracelet for a prize of over $430k.
