Welcome to Event #15, $10,000 World Championship Seven-Card Stud Hi-Lo
One year ago, Jeffrey Lisandro put the second spike in his Triple Crown of stud poker, winning his second bracelet of 2009 and his third overall in this event, the $10,000 World Championship of Seven-Card Stud Hi-Lo. Lisandro's win came after defeating one of the toughest final tables of last summer's WSOP, filled with the likes of Justin "Boosted J" Smith, Abe Mosseri, Mike Wattel and the legendary Doyle Brunson.
164 players came out for last year's event and as we sit in the nearly-empty Amazon Ballroom, the tables in the blue section are being stocked with chips and staffed with dealers. We've already spotted players like Cyndy Violette, Dan Shak, and David Sklansky roaming the halls and in about half an hour's time, we'll see if they take a seat.
Action is scheduled to commence at 5 p.m. local time. Stay tuned.
