Jeffrey Lisandro, known as one of the best Seven Card Stud players in the world, proved he is just that at the 2009 World Series of Poker by being the first person to ever win all three Stud events in the same year. Lisandro bagged $125K in the $1500 Stud event, $431K in the $10K Seven Card Stud 8 or Better, and $188K in the $2500 Razz event for a total of over $740K in ’09 WSOP earnings. For his amazing feat Jeffrey Lisandro received the ’09 WSOP Player of the Year award.

Even though he’s never had as much success as in 2009, Jeffrey Lisandro was already an accomplished player, having made eight WSOP final tables prior to this year, including one bracelet. Jeffrey also finished 17th in the 2006 WSOP Main Event for $650K, and his self-proclaimed greatest poker achievement was besting Phil Ivey heads-up in the $10K No Limit Hold’em WSOP circuit event at Lake Tahoe, to the tune of $542K.

Born in Perth, Australia, Jeffrey Lisandro now splits his time between Las Vegas, Santa Barbara, and Salerno, Italy.
