So Long, Lisandro

Jeff Lisandro - Out

Jeff Lisandro opened the pot with a raise to 2,500 from late position, and Kemal Basat announced a re-raise from the blinds. He made it 6,500 straight, and Lisandro quickly called.

Heads-up to the flop, the dealer rolled out {J-Clubs} {Q-Spades} {8-Clubs}. Basat kept the heat on with a continuation bet of 10,000. Lisandro announced, "All in," and his opponent quickly made the call with the covering stack, Lisandro at risk for his tournament life.

And the news wasn't good. The Aussie pro turned over his {K-Diamonds} {J-Diamonds}, drawing very slim against the {J-Hearts} {J-Spades} of Basat. The turn {3-Hearts} ended any hope for Lisandro, and the {9-Clubs} that rivered will be the last card of Lisandro's day.

Despite an early under-set crippling with pocket fours, Lisandro battled like a champion today. Still, his efforts will be for naught as his Main Event is over on Day 1. A flustered Lisandro dumped his tall stacks of chips out onto the felt, spilling them across the felt like acrylic confetti as he made his way hastily to the exit.
