Good One Georgie!

Jason Alexander

Jason Alexander opened the action with a raise from the hijack position to 7,500, before Christian Heich three-bet to 22,000 on the button. The blinds folded and Alexander made a quick call.

The flop landed {6-Hearts}{8-Diamonds}{2-Hearts} and Alexander grabbed four 5,000-denomination chips and splashed them towards the pot. Heich then calmly removed his headphones, cut down a raise and made it 56,000 to go.

By this stage the ESPN cameras and other media outlets had swarmed around the table to catch Alexander in the middle of the big pot.

"You rolling?" Alexander turned to the cameras, "I may be going home...I'm all in!"

Alexander stood, arms folded defiantly and stared down his opponent as Heich went into the tank with a huge decision to grab some TV time as the man to eliminate Seinfeld's "George Costanza".

It was 131,600 more to Heich and after several minutes of deep thought, Heich eventually found a fold and Alexander raked in the pot.

A couple on the rail got the applause going with a shout out of "Good one Jason!", that if you closed your eyes and replaced the name, it eerily resembled Mrs.Costanza cheering on her boy. Alexander is now up towards 300,000 chips.
