Lisandro is known by many to be a cash game specialist, but is a well-known face on the poker tournament circuit and is regarded as one of the premier Seven Card Stud players in the world. At the 2009 World Series of Poker, he 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.
His mother taught him how to play poker at the age of five.
Lisandro made his first final table appearance in a World Series of Poker event in 1997, in the $3,000 pot limithold'em event won by Phil Hellmuth Jr. He has made eleven WSOP final tables since then, in Omaha, seven card stud and 2 to 7 lowball events and won has won four bracelets, two in Seven Card Stud, one in Seven Card Stud hi/low and one in Razz.
Lisandro has not yet made a final table on the World Poker Tour (WPT), but has finished in the money in one event.
In December 2004, Lisandro won the $25,000 limit hold'em heads-up tournament, defeating Howard Lederer in the final to take home the $194,000 grand prize.
In May 2005, he won the $10,000 no limit hold'em World Series of Poker circuit event at Lake Tahoe, defeating Phil Ivey in the final heads-up confrontation to win the $542,360 prize. Lisandro has said that he considers this to be one of his greatest achievements, as he rates Ivey to be one of the best players in the world.
Lisandro finished 17th in the 2006 World Series of Poker main event, winning $659,730. He was also noted for an incident with Prahlad Friedman during the event, where Friedman felt that Lisandro had not put in his ante, worth 5,000 chips, in a hand. (In posting one of the blinds, a third player at the table forgot to put in his ante; the dealer corrected his mistake.) Friedman brought it up constantly through the hand, with the dealer telling him to stop bringing it up. Friedman would not stop, and called Lisandro a 'thief'. Lisandro was very upset to hear that, and argued with Friedman, telling him he would 'knock his head off'. Friedman tried to settle things with Lisandro afterwards during play, but Lisandro refused to talk to him. However, their attempt to reconcile did have one light moment after a player at their table, after learning that Lisandro was from Italy, told Jeff that his wife was also from Italy and that he and his wife planned to travel there to visit her parents. Lisandro asked him, 'Can you take him (Friedman) with you?'
He won his first World Series of Poker bracelet in 2007 in the $2,000 Seven-Card Stud event beating a final table that included Daniel Negreanu and Nick Frangos.
Lisandro plays online at PokerStars and is a good friend of Jean-Robert Bellande. He is known for chewing gum at the poker table to reduce tells.
He placed 2nd in the World Championship Pot Limit Hold'em (Event 13) in 2007. He won $294,620 as the runner-up to Allen Cunningham.
As of 2009, his total live tournament winnings exceed $4,000,000.[1] His 31 cashes at the WSOP account for $2,578,137 of those winnings.[2] In 2009, Lisandro won the World Series of Poker Player of the Year award.[3]

The flop came and Tsurikov and Shack-Harris checked to Lisandro who put his last 2,000 in. Both of his opponents made the call. The turn was the and Tsurikov would bet leading to a Shack-Harris fold. The hands were tabled with Lisandro holding for an open-ended straight draw but he was drawing dead as Tsurikov had for the turned flush. The river was a meaningless and Lisandro was eliminated in seventh place.
