Jason Alexander, the actor most famous for portraying George Costanza on Seinfeld, has recently been moved to the orange section of the Amazon Room, and now sits at the table next to fellow actor Kevin Pollak.

It's been a good move for Alexander, who recently won a couple pots in a row. In the first, he raised to 500 preflop, and the only caller was Tomas Mcnamara. Alexander, always putting on a show, told the dealer, "Be kind to me. I just want to make day 4." The dealer then spread {2-Diamonds}{6-Hearts}{4-Hearts}, and Alexander checked, then called Mcnamara's bet of 700. Then both players checked when the dealer turned the {j-Hearts}. The river the was the {10-Spades}, and Alexander led out for 1,600. Mcnamara tanked for a minute, then slid his cards to the dealer, and Alexander pulled in the pot. Mcnamara is still in good shape with 73,000 in chips after winning a flush-over-flush cooler earlier today.

In the following hand, Alexander raised to 650 preflop, and only the big blind called. Alexander continued for 1,600 on the flop, which prompted a fold from his opponent. As he stacked his chips, he told the dealer, "I'm so glad we met."

Alexander is now back up to 21,000 after having lost much of his starting stack at his previous table.
