Jeffrey Lisandro Wins Event No. 44 ($188,370)
Not since Phil Ivey’s performance in 2002 has a player won three bracelets in the same year. With his third bracelet of the summer, Jeffrey Lisandro has proven to be one of the best stud players on the planet and has all but locked up WSOP Player of the Year honors. It will take another by Brock Parker, Ville Wahlbeck or the aforementioned Ivey to catch the red hot Lisandro.
