Jack Effel Pulls Lisandro Off the Table
![[user270022]](/img/avatars/avatar.svg){kind=avatar}
Level 17
: 4,000/8,000, 1,000 ante
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.
