Jason Alexander gained worldwide fame playing George Costanza on "Seinfeld," an iconic sitcom that ran throughout the 1990s. The actor, now 60, has subsequent credits ranging from "Curb Your Enthusiasm" to voice appearances on cartoons like "The Simpsons" and "American Dad!"

Back in 2009, he became a celebrity endorser of PokerStars. He has appeared several times on ESPN's coverage of the World Series of Poker Main Event, though he has yet to record a cash. He did finish 10th in the $5,000 Ante Up for Africa charity event in 2007 for $12,174.

Alexander has also participated in TV events "Poker After Dark" and "Celebrity Poker Showdown."

Unfortunately for him, he won't be adding a victory in today's event to his resume as he was recently eliminated from the tournament.

Another celebrity slated to play today's tournament with a "Billions" credit was Eric Bogosian, who got his career started in the 1980s with roles on hit shows "Miami Vice" and "The Twilight Zone."

A breakthrough role in "Law & Order: Criminal Intent" saw him play Captain Danny Ross in a 61-episode run from 2006-2010. His turn on "Billions" has been his longest run since at 10 episodes.

Bogosian has also notched some film credits with roles in "Charlie's Angels: Full Throttle," Blade: Trinity," and most recently and notably in "Uncut Gems," Adam Sandler's film examining the downfall of a degenerate gambler. Bogosian plays Arno, Sandler's brother in law who has extended him a hefty line of credit.

Unfortunately, Bogosian was unable to connect and is being blinded off in the tournament. Some others in the same boat are JK Simmons and Justin Long.
