Alexander Hanging With The Big Guns

We've already told you about Purple 362 that features the likes of Matt Glantz, Vanessa Selbst and Barry Shulman. Of those big guns of poker, the player making out the best so far is.... Jason Alexander? That's right. The former Seinfeld star has been playing the Main Event for quite a few years now and is proving once again that he can hang with the best. Alexander faltered a little bit early but has rebounded to build himself quite a hefty stack for the first level of the day.

We came into this hand on a board of {2-Hearts}{5-Diamonds}{4-Hearts}{j-Spades}{j-Clubs} when Alexander had bet out 6,000 on the river and got a call. Alexander showed {a-Clubs}{j-Hearts} for trip jacks and took down the pot.

He is sitting with 54,000 and having some early success even though he is sitting at one the toughest tables in the room.
