Lisandro Helping the Needy

Jeffrey Lisandro
Jeffrey Lisandro
Jeffrey Lisandro has just doubled up an opponent. He held {Q-Clubs} {Q-Spades} {J-Hearts} {10-Clubs} and the at-risk player was sitting on {A-Diamonds} {A-Spades} {K-Hearts} {8-Hearts}. Prior to the flop, Jeffrey had raised to 6,000, and his opponent reraised to 24,000. Lisandro made the smooth call, and the two men went heads up to the flop.

It came out {9-Spades} {K-Spades} {8-Spades}. Lisandro bet out 20,000, and the other player moved all in for a total of 19,000, giving Jeffrey a little rebate. When the cards were exposed, he saw the bad news that he was behind, though still drawing live. The turn and river failed to improve his hand though, coming down {K-Clubs} and {6-Diamonds} respectively.

Lisandro donated to help the short-stacked player, and afterwards found himself in that undesirable spot, sitting with just 18,000 chips. A short time later, Lisandro was the player to double up, courtesy of Rolf Slotboom. Lisandro now has 31,000 chips.
