Ok, Ok, I’ll say it. It’s POSSIBLE any rule changes made the past year or two have helped the pro’s out! But I’ll never deny Lisandro is one of the best in the world.

Yep, Ivey was 2002, my eyes are failing me at middle age, argh.

Fair enough … but when I posted the list as I did on June 16, I didn’t realize the points I was looking at were old. Lisandro at the time was like in 5th or 6th place in the race, and I knew he was one of about four people who had a really good shot.

Ivey’s three-bracelet year was 2002.

Dan, you called out Lisandro as the best bet to win WSOP Player of the Year on June 16th (eight days ago), when he was a full 100 points behind Ville Wahlbeck. Here’s what I said in response:

“The best bet is a guy who needs to win a bracelet just to tie the current points leader? Iâ€™ll take that bet!”

All I have to say is — I’m glad you didn’t take my bet!

Lisandro’s first bracelet this year was won on June 8th. I was going to use the “what anthem is he going to use this time” line. Ivey won his 3 bracelets in 2003 B.M (Before Moneymaker).
