We came upon this one on the flop. A small pot had developed involving three players -- the small blind, Vanessa Selbst sitting UTG+1, and Jason Alexander in middle position.
The flop came 
, and the player in the small blind checked. Selbst fired 1,300, then Alexander raised to 2,900. The third player stepped aside, and Selbst waited about a half-minute before declaring she was all in. A count of her chips showed the push was for 18,625 total.
Alexander paused a few seconds, then quietly said "I call." He turned over 
for a set of deuces, at the sight of which Selbst said "I'm dead." She turned over her 
. Two cards later -- the 
and the 
-- Selbst was out.
Alexander was enjoying a massage during that hand which has now completed. He certainly appears relaxed. And sitting behind a stack of about 105,000 at this point can only add to his comfort level.
