He was born and raised in Australia, but lived in Italy for a long time -- given a choice of anthems, he chose Australia. And that's what the WSOP is using for their official results for country of origin. I normally wouldn't care so much, but Bluff's Lance Bradley and I have a bet on how many European players will win bracelets this year -- I need it to be 14 or fewer (counting the Main Event, but not WSOP Europe; there were 11 last year). With only two Europeans winning bracelets to this point, I'm on pace to win this bet rather easily. Jeffrey Lisandro is *not* representing Italy; he’s representing Australia.
