Ultimate Blackjack Tour
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Ultimate Blackjack Tour is a televised series of blackjack tournaments airing on CBS. It debuted on September 16, 2006. The show consists of ten televised Elimination Blackjack tournaments with a winner at the end of each episode. The winner of each tournament will return for a final "Tournament of Champions." The prize pool for the Tour is in excess of $1,300,000 USD.
Along with professional blackjack players and internet qualifiers, the producers have included a number of professional poker players not normally known for playing blackjack in an attempt to draw on the recent surge in popularity of televised poker.
The show is hosted by Max Rubin and Mati Moralejo, with Nikki Ziering and Shandi Finnessey serving as sideline reporters.
