WSOP Legend: Jeff Lisandro Wins Three Stud Bracelets in One Year

Level 1 : 25/50, 0 ante
Jeff Lisandro
Jeff Lisandro

The 2009 World Series of Poker stood out in history for several things. It was the second year of the now-defunct November Nine, when Joe Cada became the youngest-ever world champion at 21 after defeating Maryland logger Darvin Moon heads-up. Phil Ivey finished seventh in the event, ensuring massive coverage throughout the Main Event and the final table in November.

While the 2009 Main Event is probably what's remembered most from that year, there was another story brewing that year when Australian professional Jeff Lisandro went on an unprecedented tear in the stud portion of the WSOP, and pulled off a feat that's yet to be matched: winning three stud-events in a single year.

To this date, Lisandro remains the only player to have pulled off that feat in nothing but stud events, and was the first player since Ivey in 2002 to win three bracelets in a single summer.

Will Allen "Chainsaw" Kessler Win His First Real WSOP Gold Bracelet?

Level 4 : 50/100, 0 ante
Nice shirt, Allen Kessler!
Nice shirt, Allen Kessler!

Allen "Chainsaw" Kessler has been MIA from the 2020 World Series of Poker Online series up to this point, but today he's finally joined the masses to take his shot at a gold bracelet. Kessler, a three-time gold ring winner, has come close to winning bracelets in the past with four runner-up finishes in the past.

The first came when he finished second to Todd Brunson in the 2005 WSOP Event #21: $2,500 Omaha Hi-Lo 8 or Better for $132,110, and then again at the 2011 WSOP he finished second to Frank Kassela in Event #15: $10,000 Seven Card Stud Hi-Lo 8 or Better Championship for $276,485.

The following year, Kessler fell to Brian Rast in heads-up play in the 2011 WSOP Event #15: $1,500 Pot-Limit Hold’em for $140,309. More recently, Kessler sought out a WSOP Europe bracelet but once again had to settle for second in the 2017 WSOPE Event #6: €2,200 Pot-Limit Omaha for €57,897.

All told, Kessler has 177 WSOP-related cashes totaling $1,981,352 dating back to 2001, but thus far a gold bracelet has escaped him for nearly two decades. That could call change tonight!

"rickindestin" opened for 400 from middle position and was called by Brandon "BButler" Butler from the cutoff before Melisa "NJ_Melisa" Singh three-bet jammed for 3,085 from the small blind.

Singh showed {a-Hearts}{j-Spades} for two-pair but it was no good as Butler rivered the full house {6-Spades}{6-Hearts} to win the pot and collect her bounty.

Sylvia Loses his $100 Bounty to Barglowski

Level 18 : 1,000/2,000, 250 ante
Jesse Sylvia
Jesse Sylvia

Jesse "MrJesseJames" Sylvia open-jammed for his last 7,800 from early position and was only called by Joseph "djjb1" Barglowski from late position.

Joseph "djjb1" Barglowski: {a-Spades}{q-Clubs}
Jesse "MrJesseJames" Sylvia: {10-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds}

Sylvia held live cards and connected with the {6-Diamonds}{10-Hearts}{4-Spades} flop.

The {6-Hearts} turn was of no consequence as it paired the board but the {q-Hearts} river paired Barglowski's queen ending Sylvia's tournament.
