The Summer of George is Over
Jason Alexander, actor famous for portraying George Costanza on the hit 1990's sitcom Seinfeld, has been eliminated from play early in the third level of the day.
On Alexander's final hand, he and Gregor Waltermann looked down at a completed board of 
. With 2,550 already in the middle, Waltermann led out for a pot-sized bet of 2,500. Alexander came over the top with a raise to 6,000 and Waltermann thought for a moment. In the end, Waltermann came over the top with a three-bet to 16,000. Alexander responded by shoving all in and Waltermann instantly called.
Alexander triumphantly rolled over 
for a full house of jacks full of sevens. Unfortunately for Alexander, Waltermann had that beat with 
for quad sevens.
"That's beautiful!" said a stunned Alexander. "Now I've got a story to tell!"
Alexander took his leave from the tournament area while Waltermann increased his stack to about 49,000.
