Michael Craig had the bring-in with a king, Warwick Mirzikinian called, Ryan Fisler completed, Jeff Lisandro raised, Craig and Mirzikinian folded, but Fisler made it three bets to go. Lisandro made the call. Fisler led out on fourth and fifth, Lisandro calling in both spots. Fisler check-called a bet on sixth street from Lisandro and did the same on seventh.

Fisler showed {A-?}

for a 9-5-4-3-A low but there's just no stopping Lisandro right now. He showed {4-?}

for a 7-5-4-3-A low and took it down, leaving Fisler with only 150,000 in chips.
