A Greenstein Moment for George Costanza

From under the gun, Jason Alexander raised to 3,000 before the flop and the action folded around to the player on the button who called, before the small blind moved the all-in. Alexander snap-called and the button got out of the way before the cards were revealed:

Small Blind: {3-Diamonds}{3-Clubs}
Alexander: {A-Hearts}{K-Clubs}

The small blind was in great shape to double up all the way to the turn on the board of {J-Spades}{5-Clubs}{8-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds}, but Alexander spiked the {A-Clubs} on the river and another one bit the dust. Alexander is now up to more than 125,000 in chips.
