But, since last week was the WSOB IV finale, and based on last year's schedule, I think tonight might be the World Blackjack Tour show instead.

Hello everybody,

On April 25 & 26 I had the opportunity to compete in Harrah’s World Series of Gaming (Blackjack Tournament). There were just under 200 participants who came from all over the United States. The format was an interesting one. It was a hybrid, with round one being accumulation style. Each player had two opportunities, with only their highest score being counted....

The American’s, European’s and Canadian’s on Global Payer Casio loved both these players and it would been great to have seen them on TV.

I once remember rushing home from work one-day just to see Sunshine verses American player LuckyGem.

Great days

Our very own Reachy playing in his first ever land based tournament came in 4th, but had a chance to win it all on the last hand had he won his max. bet DD.

Reachy you played very well my friend and we're all proud of you. You did yourself and England proud tonight. Hope to see you, Andy, and Colin all over here for more events in the near future.]]> 11 Tue, 20 Nov 2007 01:43:10 +0000 https://www.blackjacktournaments.com/threads/season-five.4455/ https://www.blackjacktournaments.com/threads/season-five.4455/ invalid@example.com (Schultzy) Schultzy 11 Sat, 27 Oct 2007 18:51:21 +0000 https://www.blackjacktournaments.com/threads/vidotapes-of-the-shows.4387/ https://www.blackjacktournaments.com/threads/vidotapes-of-the-shows.4387/ invalid@example.com (MaxwellSmart) MaxwellSmart

I hope this episode is good this evening. Now, I do have one question for all of you. The next episode after this one is the Wild Card show. Correct me if I'm wrong. Isn't this the episode where all of the runner-ups of the past eight shows(including tonight) have that opportunity to...

Although GSN is suppose to get a new CEO around the 1st of August there have been rumors that GSN may not pick up the WSOB for a fifth season with the newly signing of the WPT and their own High Stakes Poker doing so well.
