2007 WSOP Event 32 - Seven-Card Stud $2,000

  Most of us have heard the phrase "if at first you don't succeed, try, try again". This is the sort of thing parents tell their children in the hopes of building some world class character before someone who looks smashing in a mini skirt and preaches the wonders of the Homer Simpson, sushi, and pure evil comes along and completely ruins little Johnny or Bobby. While some kids will be led down the primerose path that leads to secular humanism and the game "Grand Theft Auto", the phrase will actually stick with some folks. Jeffery Lisandro is one of those kids who took the words to heart.  At the beginning of this year's World Series of Poker, Jeffery competed in Event 7. He finished in the money at 13th place, but that was far from the conclusion he was hoping for. He just kept plugging away, and at Event 13 impressed just about everyone who didn't have 11 bracelets with a finish in the second spot. Impressive, but it still wasn't the sort ending that came with jewelry.  His persistence paid off as at Event 32 - he finally broke out of the "always a bridesmaid, never a bride" mold that so many players are content to call a successful career, and finally won a bracelet.  This is not the first year that Jeffrey Lisandro has competed for the sport's most recognizable fashion accessory. In a very Ahab sort of way, the bracelet has been his White Whale. After making his way to the winners platform and doing all the things that the media expects, such as holding up the money and smiling for the cameras, he looked around and exclaimed, "Where's my bracelet?" That pretty much says it all about what this player considered important.  Congratulations Jeffrey on your win. It has been a long time coming, enjoy it!1Jeffrey Lisandro$118,4262Nickolas (Little Nicky) Frangos$65,9023Nesbitt Coburn$42,6434Severin Walser$28,1055Daniel Negreanu$21,3216Gregory Pappas$16,2827David Brody$12,4058Farshad Ben Cohen$8,9169Howard Lederer$6,203
