Jeffrey Lisandro is a WSOP Stud

Coming into this year’s World Series of Poker, few people would have ever really considered Jeffrey Lisandro as part of poker’s elite class.  Sure Lisandro is well known among those who follow poker closely and is a respected player, but we’ll just sum this up by saying he’s no Phil Hellmuth or Phil Ivey.  However, that’s all about to change with the way Lisandro has performed at the 2009 WSOP. 

Jeffrey Lisandro recently won his third gold bracelet at the WSOP which ties the record at a single World Series of Poker event, and he still has time to play at least a couple more tournaments if he so chooses.  With 3 victories at the WSOP, many people think that Lisandro is a shoe-in to win the WSOP Player of the Year Award too.  But whether that happens or not, people will still remember this performance by Lisandro at the WSOP.

What’s most impressive about Lisandro’s bracelets is that he has won them all in Seven Card Stud events which will definitely put him in a class by himself in this poker variation.  Jeffrey won a Stud high, Stud 8′s or better, and a Razz tournament which is pretty amazing.  In fact, I’d be willing to be that nobody else will ever win 3 Stud events in the same WSOP.

This is truly an impressive accomplishment and something which I definitely think you’ll be seeing go down in WSOP lore next time websites starting pounding out those top WSOP moments in history articles.
