That quote by Jeff Lisandro from the 2006 World Series of Poker Main Event remains famous in the poker world to this day. Late in the Main Event that year, Lisandro and Prahlad Friedman were seated together at the ESPN feature table. During their time together, an incident arose regarding a missing ante before the flop. Friedman insisted that Lisandro did not put his ante in while Lisandro vehemently defended himself. The tension rose and the argument became more heated until Friedman stepped away from the table and talked to a floor supervisor privately.
Lisandro stood up from the table and continued to argue his point, until he spoke those famous words, "I'll take your head off!"
It's been right around eight years since that infamous moment, and today we find these two seated right next to each other on Table #366. Both players are currently under the starting stack with Friedman sitting on 26,500 and Lisandro on 24,000. As the day progresses, we'll see keep you posted on the status of these two players.
Welcome back to our ongoing coverage of the 2014 World Series of Poker! Today marks the start of Event #13: $10,000 No-Limit 2-7 Single Draw, where poker's elite will come out to compete in one of the purest games of poker.
The $10,000 No-Limit 2-7 single draw event has been a staple of the World Series of Poker and consistently attracts the top pros. Last year, the event saw a field of 87 total entrants and was whittled down to an absolutely stacked final table. The likes of John Hennigan, Layne Flack, Jon Turner, and Konstantine Puchkov had seats at the final table but fell short before being able to claim the ever-elusive bracelet. In the end, Jesse Martin was able to overcome David "Bakes" Baker during heads up play, denying Bakes his second bracelet in this game and earning Martin $253,524 in prize money.
We expect to see dozens of familiar faces comes out for this event, including two-time 2-7 Single Draw bracelet winner Nick Schulman, 2-7 bracelet winner John Juanda, Greg Raymer, Daniel Negreanu, Phil Ivey, and many more.
