World Series of Blackjack preliminaries to be held in Colorado
This is the first time in the events history that players representing casinos will be able to win seats at the final tournament by winning qualification events. This is only the third WSOB – the previous two events were invitation only.
It was in March 2004 that 25 of the world’s premier blackjack players competed for the first ever World Series of Blackjack and a prize pool of $250,000. By the following year the prize pool had doubled with 40 players competing. That year saw the emergence of “Hollywood” Dave Stann – the games foremost celebrity player – who finished second to Ken Einiger.
The 2006 WSOB will be shown on GSN sometime early next year.
