Jeffrey Lisandro became the first person to win a World Series title in all three seven-card stud disciplines at the same Series when he won the Stud High, Stud High-Low, and Razz in 2009 World Series of Poker. Of course he has achieved so much more than this in his long poker career. However, after his great 2009 WSOP he started getting lots and lots of attention from media all over the world.

GL in starting a new poker site these days ... poker isnt as popular as it was a few years ago, just face it. The field is crowded with sponsored poker players these days , soon it will be poker sites VS poker sites out in the field.

----------------- Yes, I saw it on TV too. He was quite pissed off and did say he would take his head off. As for sponsorship, that is pretty impressive to win like that so I don't know why he hasn't been approached yet. If he wants to start his own poker site he has def. got some competition. I'll give him his props tho as being a good player

Wow no sponser after tearing the WSOP braclet makers arm off hahaha Maybe the sponsers are all busy looking at me ..lol Why doesnt BankRollMob sponser him? I'll put a fiver in the pot....
The problem is that he doesn't play hold'em or doesn't win any bracelet in hold'em. Con you like it or not but sponsors pay only if they are sure to have a big return. It's the same difference between soccer and marathon:sponsors have no doubt.

lol thats funny " If I don't find a sponsor soon I probably start my own poker site". With so many sites already and so stiff competition think he'll be better playing poker.

No it would be unwise to start a own pokersite, I hope this was a joke. But I guess there must be a reason why he doesn't get a sponsor. Maybe they already have enough pro's everywhere or maybe the financial crisis, who knows.
