Apparently good things come in twos in the 2009 WSOP.  First Phil Ivey got two.  Then Brock Parker took center stage.  Now Jeffrey Lisandro has won his second bracelet and third overall.  In his latest win, Lisandro whiddled down a 4-1 chip deficit against Farzad Rouhani after four hours of heads-up play to win it all.  The field was 164 players.  His first win came in the $1,500 7-card Stud event.
