I was overwhelmed by the experience of playing in Annie Duke’s and Don Cheatle’s Ante up for Africa tournament on July 2. One of the great rewards from finishing second in Razz was having the money to buy into this event. Unfortunately, I didn’t take good notes. I don’t know if I was stars-truck or just nervous with anticipation about playing the Main Event the next day. But I’ll give you what I’ve got, which are some hastily-composed notes (taken on the sly) and my jumbled recollections. Still, I think it provides a fair idea, in advance of the tournament’s broadcast on ESPN, of what it was like.

After learning poker in Amsterdam from his cousin in 2004, Steve Wong has become an accomplished big-tournament poker player. In his breakthrough year of 2006, he made his first WSOP final table, finishing fourth in the $1,000 NLHE with re-buys, earning over $162,000. In October, at the Bellagio’s Festa al Lago, he won a $5,000 NLHE event, worth nearly $200,000. Just ten days later, after winning a satellite entry into the WPT Main Event, he made the Final Table and finished second, cashing for $542,700. Two months later, at the Bellagio Five-Diamond, he won the $2,500 NLHE, scoring another $215,255. In the three years after the whirlwind of the second half of ’06, Steve has moved to Las Vegas and followed up those performances with strong finishes in WPT Championships, WSOP circuit Main Events, and in the World Series of Poker.

So far, I have mostly told you about Jeffrey Lisandro’s aggressive style and the way the other players behaved against it. There’s also the matter of his table image which, though not decisive, definitely worked in his favor. How did Jeffrey Lisandro behave at the table?
