Trying to Find the Lesser of Eight Evils

Jeffrey Lisandro's table just moved from the Stud/8 round into no-limit hold'em, prompting several players to remark that they were glad to be done trying to outwit Lisandro at Stud/8 for awhile.

Lisandro, of course, just this week won a bracelet in the $10,000 World Championship Seven-Card Stud Hi-Lo Eight-or-Better event, a point that was clarified for the benefit of Robert Williamson III.

"Oh, so that's why," said Williamson, finally getting why everyone was so impatient to get out of the Stud/8 round.

"What would you prefer, we play stud?" quipped Lisandro, the game in which he won his other two WSOP bracelets. Lisandro has also made WSOP final tables in H.O.R.S.E., Pot-Limit Omaha, 2-7 (the NL single-draw variety), and finished 17th in the 2006 WSOP Main Event, so there really isn't much place to hide when you're at his table.

Lisandro is doing well in the other six games today, too, having built his stack up to 28,000.
