Alexander Amassing Chips

A player opened for 3,000 from the cutoff and found one caller in Jason Alexander from the big.

The flop came {K-Hearts}{3-Hearts}{K-Spades} and Alexander checked to his opponent, who bet 4,000. Alexander thought a bit and and raised to 8,000. His opponent quickly called.

The turn brought the {J-Hearts} and Alexander checked again, prompting an 11,000 bet from his opponent. Alexander weighed his options and called again.

The {5-Hearts} completed the board and Alexander checked again. This time, his opponent checked behind and showed {9-Hearts}{8-Spades} for a rivered flush.

"It's no good, my friend," Alexander said while tabling {K-Diamonds}{J-Clubs} for the nuts.

"I think the heart saved him," a fellow table-mate said. "I think he goes for it if he misses."

In any case, Alexander's stack has grown to 145,000.
