Players at Amazon Purple #455 know they're sitting with one of poker's finest with Jeff Lisandro at the table.
Lisandro's enjoyed success across all forms of poker in his storied career, and he's always a threat in stud. The six-time bracelet winner was the runner-up in last year's $1,500 Seven Card Stud event, and a look at his career results reveals consistent success in this venerable poker variant.
Four of the Australian's six WSOP bracelets have come in stud events, including three at the 2009 WSOP. Lisandro won WSOP Player of the Year in 2009, on the back of bracelet wins in $1,500 Seven Card Stud (this very event), $2,500 Razz and $10,000 Seven Card Stud 8-or-Better. He also won a bracelet at the 2007 WSOP in the $2,000 Seven Card Stud event.
Lisandro's career tournament earnings sit at $5,626,956, and he's always a threat to add to that total when he sits in on a stud event.

A player who is new to stud is seated to Allen Kessler's right, and the veteran poker player is graciously answering the player's questions about the betting rules of the game.
Kessler is a great player to learn from, as he's enjoyed success in stud tournaments at the WSOP and elsewhere for years. Kessler's best career finish came in the $10,000 Stud Hi-Lo 8 Championships at the 2010 WSOP, where he finished second for $276,485.
The man known as "Chainsaw" is a fixture at the WSOP in general, consistently competing in stud, hold'em, omaha, mixed-game events and just about every other poker variant. Kessler finished eighth in the 2014 $50,000 Players Championship for $134,101, and finished ninth in the $10,000 Razz Championship at the 2018 WSOP for $25,564.
