Winner Poker Player - News Detail

Jeffrey "The Iceman" Lisandro took home Event 44, $2,500 Razz, and became the fifth player in history to win three WSOP bracelets in the same year.

Stud-expert Lisandro started his amazing streak by winning the Event 16, $1,500 Seven-Card Stud; he then claimed the $10,000 World Championship Seven-Card Stud Hi-Lo and now the $2,500 Razz event - the only Razz tournament on the 2009 WSOP schedule.

"It feels good," Lisandro said when the tournament was over.

Lisandro also stated that he is very much aware of the historical implications of this third victory in 2009.  He said he intends to play as many events as possible in order to set a new record for most wins in a single year.

Furthermore, Lisandro is actually thinking about five wins, in order to set a mark that is unlikely ever to be surpassed.

He then explained that he was both tired and hungry, and departed the tournament area quickly.

The Iceman completely dominated the final table, which was the shortest of any of the 44 events completed so far at this year's WSOP. No player ever came within 2 to 1 of his chip advantage.  He also knocked out 6 of the 8 players in the finale.

Thanks to the win, Lisandro became only the fifth player in WSOP history to win three gold bracelets within a single year.  The other four players to accomplish this feat were:

Puggy Pearson (1973)
Ted Forrest (1993)
Phil Hellmuth (1993)
Phil Ivey (2002)
