I spoke recently about Phil Iveys achievements in picking up two poker bracelets this year, but another pro player called Jeff Lisandro has just picked up his third bracelet in a single year. This kind of feat is a rare thing, showing Lisandros mastery of Stud based games.

The first of his WSOP bracelets came in the event 16, $1,500 Seven Card Stud. He beat a field of 359 players to take down what was the second bracelet of his career, the first also being won at seven Card Stud two years previously. The second of his bracelets this year came in event 37, the Seven Card Stud 8 or better World Championship. Lisandro beat 163 players to win his second bracelet this year, picking up more than $430,000 in the process.

The third bracelet of the year for Lisandro came in event 44, the $2,500 Seven Card Razz. 314 players fell by the wayside as Jeff Lisandro completed his astonishing three bracelet triumph, netting a total of over $742,000 for these three events alone.

These victories cement his place in history, as he is now perhaps the best player of seven card games, and particularly stud, in the world. Added to this, you have to say that early in the poker tournament during the Seven Card Stud World Championship event 6, his finish of 10th place out of 142 only adds weight to this argument.
