One for Lisandro; Pescatori Gone
Level 6
: 400/800, 0 ante
A middle-position player opened for 800 only to have Jeff Lisandro three-bet to 1,200 from the hijack. The rest of the players folded, the middle-position player called and it was heads-up action to the 
flop. The middle-position player proceeded to check-call a bet and did the same on the 
turn.
Lisandro then bet another 800 when his opponent checked the river and it was enough to get the job done as the middle-position player sent his cards to the muck.
