This Was Supposed To Be "The Summer Of George!"

Constanza Will Always Be #1, Even When He's Not
Constanza Will Always Be #1, Even When He's Not
A player limps from middle position for 1,200, Jason Alexander moves all in from late position for 28,800, and his opponent calls with {A-Spades}{K-Hearts}. Alexander shows {K-Clubs}{Q-Clubs}, and he'll need to improve to stay alive.

The board comes {10-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds}{2-Clubs}{10-Spades}{8-Clubs}, and Alexander loses with a lower kicker on the double-paired board. Jason Alexander, famously known for playing George Costanza on "Seinfeld," has been eliminated from the Main Event.

ESPN caught him walking away from the table, and he gave them a brief walking interview on his way out. He went a respectable distance in this tournament, and we applaud his efforts.

Once he reached the doors leading out of the Amazon Room, he turned to face the remaining players and screamed at the top of his lungs, "This was supposed to be the Summer of George!"

Okay, that last part may not have actually happened. But that's how I'll always remember it.
