Jeffrey Lisandro won his second bracelet of the 2009 WSOP (third in total) by taking home the $10,000 World Championship Seven-Card Stud Hi-Lo. The victory gave Lisandro $431,656 in prize money.

The final table contained five former WSOP gold bracelet winners - Doyle Brunson (10 wins), Jeffrey Lisandro (2 wins), Anthony Rivera (1 win), Farzad Rouhani (1 win), and Mike Wattel (1 win).
The final table lasted about 13 hours - the longest of any event this year.
The heads-up match between Farzad Rouhani and Jeffrey Lisandro nearly reached epic proportions. Rouhani held a decisive advantage early. But Lisandro fought his way back and seized the chip lead after a series of big confrontations and scooped pots. Once Lisandro took over the lead, he never lost it and defeated Rouhani after about two hours of heads-up play.
