"I may lose, but I'm sexy as hell!"

Jason Alexander
Jason Alexander
...said Jason Alexander as he awaited his showdown against opponent Huck Seed. All of the money went in pre-flop and when it was time to table the cards, Alexander showed {7-Hearts}{7-Spades} and found himself in a coin-flip situation against Huck's {A-Diamonds}{J-Diamonds}.

The {A-Spades}{J-Spades}{8-Diamonds} flop was disastrous for Jason, as it gave Huck top two pair, but the {9-Spades} that fell on the turn gave him a world of outs to stay alive. Before the river was dealt, Alexander got up out of his seat and moved in behind the dealer, Jeremy, to give him a friendly shoulder massage, while politely asking for a spade, ten or seven on the river.

Unfortunately for TV's "George," the {2-Clubs} was the last card off the deck and Seed's top two pair held up to win the hand, sending Alexander to the rail.
