Alexander Gives Up Some Chips

A player in middle position limped into the pot and Jason Alexander raised to 500 from the cutoff. He got called by the limper and they went heads up to a flop of {4-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds}{9-Spades}.

When the middle position player checked, Alexander bet 800. He got check-raised to 2,500 and made the call. The middle position player then led for 5,200 when the turn brought the {5-Hearts} and Alexander called again.

The {6-Hearts} on the river brought a bet of 12,500 from the player in middle position and a fold by Alexander, knocking him back down to 32,000 chips.
