A Class of His Own: Lisandro Wins 3rd!

When you’re on fire, you’re on fire and Jeffrey Lisandro is on fire. Today Lisandro won WSOP Event #44, the $2,500 buy-in Razz Tournament. His previous 2009 bracelets came in Seven-card Stud and Seven-card Stud Eight or Better. It looks almost inevitable that he will win the WSOP Player of the Year award. He now has a 355-275 point lead over second place Ville Wahlbeck. Although his earnings are less ($807k vs. $862k), he has 1 more cash and 2 more bracelets. Phil Ivey is third with 242 points.
The Razz event had 315 entries. His other wins came in 164 and 213 fields. I’m not a fan of Lisandro, but he is well deserving of any credit coming his way. Winning 3 bracelets in 1 WSOP is outstanding.
I’ve got to wonder what the other players are thinking while Lisandro is going around collecting all the hardware. Think of how many players would like to get just 1 bracelet – and now Jeffrey Lisandro has 3 in one tournament.
