Legendary Lisandro is in the Building

GeoffFisk

Level 3 : 200/400, 50 ante

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.
