This year's World Series of Poker (WSOP) fourth stop turned out to
be something of an endurance test, with a record playing time of 12
hours 35 minutes at Harveys Casino Resort, reports the Tahoe Daily
Tribune.
It turned out to be the longest final table in circuit history when
the winner, a 39 year old property investor called Jeffrey Lisandro
finally wrapped the game up at 3:15 a.m. with a pair of tens to take
the top prize of $542,360.
Lisandro battled against Phil
Ivey for two and a half hours in a 12-hour, 35-minute game, edging
the 28-year-old who looked like he might take the grand pot with bluffs
and persistence, and a pair of deuces in the end.
