After Alexander's elimination, PokerNews' Pamela Maldonado had a chance to speak with him, and this is what Alexander had to say about his experience at the WSOP:
"It never even occurred to me that I was in the World Series of Poker, the biggest and best tournament around. I was relaxed the entire time and I played to win the entire time. I’m a loose and aggressive player. That’s the way I’ve always played and that’s how I’ll continue to play.
"I never once had someone ship all in and I look down and see aces. I had to fight the entire time. It was fun and I know some of the plays I made will look questionable, but like I said I was playing to win. I was picking spots where I could gamble. I’m sure I’ll look back and think of the mistakes I made but at the end of the day I am very happy. It was a great run and lots of fun. I’ll be back!"
