About Jeffrey Lisandro

Name	Jeffrey Lisandro
Current Residence	Salerno, IT
Birth Place	Perth, AU

For years, Jeffrey Lisandro was described by many in the poker world as one of the best poker players not to have won a World Series of Poker bracelet. In 2007, he rectified that situation by winning the $2,000 Seven-Card Stud event.

Lisandro, who was born in Perth, Australia, but now calls Salerno, Italy, home, made most of his money in real estate investments but now spends much of his time as a professional poker player. He has homes in Las Vegas, Italy and Australia.

Before focusing on tournaments in recent years, Lisandro was mainly a high-limit cash game player. He played the highest-limits out there, rivaling some of the world’s top players.

Since delving into tournament play, Lisandro has seen a lot of cashes in the World Series of Poker and other events around the world. Most notable, he defeated Howard Lederer in the Bellagio $25,000 Heads-Up Limit Hold’em tournament in 2004, and followed that up in May 2005 with a World Series of Poker $10,000 Circuit Championship win by taking out Phil Ivey heads-up.

It is his ability to enter these tournaments and take on well-known pros so calmly that earned him the nickname “The Iceman.”

His cool demeanor paid off nicely at the 2007 WSOP, where, along with several cashes, he made two final tables. The first was a second place finish in the $5,000 World Championship Pot-Limit Hold’em event which was won by Allen Cunningham. His second was his win in the $2,000 Seven-Card Stud event, finishing off a final table that included Howard Lederer and Daniel Negreanu.

For a man who already makes a fortune in investments and his cash games, the bracelet truly was the goal for Lisandro.

When PokerListings.com asked him about the money and the bracelet win, he had this to say:

“I’m trying to calm down actually. I’m just feeling a little bit elevated. I’m flying. (Laughs.) For me it’s just the bracelet. The money’s worth nothing. It was just the bracelet!”

There’s no doubt, now that Jeffrey Lisandro has got a taste for that gold bracelet win, he’ll probably be gunning for more. With four or more cashes at the WSOP, many of them deep cashes, in every World Series since 2004, you can bet the poker world hasn’t seen the last of him at a final table.
