Jason Alexander is the winner of the second season of Celebrity Blackjack, taking home an additional $200,000 for his charity. On the final hand, he had $286,000 and put out $156,000, while Jeff Probst and Kelli Williams put out very small bets, with Lance Bass out of the game. Jason won the hand and therefore won the match.
Edit
Jeff Probst bet $50,000 several times towards the final hand and won.
Edit
Jason split 10s on Hand 9 and got 20 and 21, winning the hand. Later, he split and got two 21s, winning once again.
Edit
Jeff Probst makes it the championship despite not having won his initial match. He substituted in the semi-finals for Shannon Elizabeth, who couldn't make it.

(after Kelli makes her bet)Jeff: Jason's gonna stick with her because he's got to, so they're both gonna bet fifteen grand thereabouts. He'll bet eleven-five or something odd...
Lance: Or you could bet, you know, conservative, hoping they'd lose, and just...
Jeff: And I'd pick up what, ten grand?
Jason: Yeah, I think you should be taking advice from Lance.
(laughter from the audience)Matt: Yeah, next, Lance'll hold a seminar on keeping a band together.
Edit
Dave: This is the pinnacle of celebrity casino programming.
Edit
Matt: Look at that. She wanted a 9, needed a 9, got a 9. Kelli has been smoking all game.
