WSOP Event #32 - $2,000 Seven Card Stud - Lisandro and Negreanu battle it out

Event #32 at this years WSOP ran over schedule and returned for an unscheduled third day to complete the final table. The ESPN cameras were in attendance to capture the exciting final table which included two big name pros in Daniel Negreanu and Jeff Lisandro.

The full final table line up was as follows:

• Seat 1: Daniel Negreanu — 164,500
• Seat 2: Greg Pappas — 144,000
• Seat 3: Nick Frangos — 90,500
• Seat 4: David Brody — 46,000
• Seat 5: Nesbitt Coburn — 150,000
• Seat 6: Jeffrey Lisandro — 195,000
• Seat 7: Severin Walser — 24,000
• Seat 8: Farshad Cohen — 75,500

The two chip leaders going into the final table was new Team Pokerstars member Daniel Negreanu and Lisandro and both these were considered favourites at this final table.

In fact Negreanu was involved in the action straight away first taking a 60k pot from Lisandro and then eliminating Farshad Cohen when he completed his straight on the river. Cohen left in 8th place taking home $8,916.

Straight away after this it was the other short stack David Brody who was eliminated this time by Greg Pappas who once again completed a straight on the river to eliminate Brody in 7th place good for $12,405.

Within the first 5 hands of play we had already narrowed down to six remaining players.

The eliminations then slowed down and it wasn’t until some 40 hands later that Greg Pappas was eliminated when he was beaten by the King high straight of Nesbitt Coburn and Pappas left in 6th place collecting $16,282.

Crowd favourite Daniel Negreanu was the next to depart after a bad turn of cards dwindled away at his stack. His jacks didn’t hold up when Severin Walser made trip 2’s and Negreanu collected $21,321 for his 5th place finish.

We then had two eliminations in the space of two hands, first when Walser ran into the full house of Nick Frangos to leave in 4th place ($28,105) and then Frangos picked up two pair to eliminate Nesbitt Coburn in 3rd place ($42,643).

Heads up between Frangos and Jeff Lisandro with both players being very aggressive. The final hand came about when Frangos’ Jacks were beaten by the trip aces of Lissandro giving him the bracelet and the 1st place prize of $118,426.
