Lisandro Takes His Leave

Kevin Taylor

Jeff Lisandro's summer at the Rio has come to an end. We caught up with the action on the flop, which read {8-Spades} {2-Spades} {2-Hearts} . Lisandro checked to his opponent, who fired out 3,200. Lisandro came back with a check raise all in for 34,600, and his opponent went into the tank. After about three minutes, his opponent made the call, and it turned out to be a great one.

Lisandro: {a-Hearts} {9-Diamonds}
Opponent: {4-Diamonds} {4-Clubs}

Lisandro got caught and would need an ace or a nine to survive. The turn brought the {3-Clubs} , and the river brought the {q-Clubs} , sending Lisandro to the exits an hour before the dinner break.
