Jack Effel Pulls Lisandro Off the Table

Level 17 : 4,000/8,000, 1,000 ante
Jeff Lisandro
Jeff Lisandro

After eliminating two opponents in quick succession, Jeff Lisandro got into a little spat with the staff about the dealer being unsure about Lisandro's action and Lisandro told the dealer how he felt about the inquiry.

With Lisandro seemingly already on edge, World Series of Poker VP and Tournament Director, Jack Effel asked to speak to Lisandro off the table about a separate issue. Lisandro immediately was unhappy with the request and made sure Effel was well aware.

Effel told Lisandro that the video production team was missing some of Lisandro's cards and Effel asked Lisandro to make sure he was displaying his cards properly.

This seemed to set Lisandro off, saying he was showing his cards and as Lisandro moved back to the table, his voice started to rise, "I'm showing my cards, leave me alone!" Lisandro yelled at Effel.

"Come over here," Effel demanded. "You're on penalty," Effel stated as Lisandro walked away from the table again. "You are completely worked up. I'm trying to get you to calm down."

Lisandro continued to argue his case and asked Effel to tell the video production team what he thought of them.

"Listen to me. You are taking this too far," Effel said trying to get Lisandro off the edge.

"You are aggravating me," Lisandro replied.

"You are aggravating yourself," Effel said as he let Lisandro go back to the table. "We're going to stop it and not talk about this anymore."

Lisandro has since returned to the table and seems to have calmed down a bit.

Tom Cannuli's stack had almost reached the one million mark before we saw him enter a hand where he opened from middle position and the big blind defended.

Both players checked the {a-Hearts}{2-Spades}{9-Spades} flop and the big blind then bet out for 18,000 on the {j-Hearts} turn. Cannuli called and the river was the {3-Spades}. Both players checked and Cannuli mucked when his opponent showed {a-}{9-} for a flopped two pair.

Ankush Mandavia Sends One Home

Level 16 : 3,000/6,000, 1,000 ante
Ankush Mandavia
Ankush Mandavia

Ankush Mandavia raised to 13,000 from under the gun, the button called, and the big blind three-bet jammed for about 140,000. Mandavia reshoved for about 500,000 and the button quickly got out of the way.

Mandavia: {A-Hearts}{K-Clubs}
Big blind: {J-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds}

Mandavia had the preflop advantage but his opponent caught up on the {9-Diamonds}{6-}{5-Clubs} flop when he paired his five. The {10-Spades} on the turn was no help to Mandavia, but the {A-Spades} river gave him a pair of aces to win the pot and eliminate his opponent.
