Lisandro Crippled but Hanging On, Somehow
Stud
Lisandro: X-X / / X
Aldridge: X-X / / X
Jeff Lisandro, who had been trending downwards since the dinner break, is almost flat-lining at this point. He went all the way to the river with Ken Aldridge. Aldridge completed third street and bet fourth street and fifth street. On fifth street, Lisandro check-raised and was called.
Both players checked sixth street. Down the river, Aldridge checked again, then called a bet from Lisandro. Aldridge showed for two pair, queens and fives, to drag the pot.
That hand crippled Lisandro. He folded one hand before being all in for 4,000 of the 5,000-chip ante. Lisandro won that hand without a sweat against Chad Brown, then was dealt split kings with an ace his next hand and won that hand too. He currently has about 60,000.
"I won a stud tournament once after being down to one chip," Lisandro told the table. Lisandro has some tough competition if he hopes to do that again.
