VIP Casino is holding their first-ever Blackjack tournament, for the entire month of August. A $10 entry fee gets you $1000 in play chips, and a shot at these prizes:
1st = $500
2nd = $200
3rd = $100
The leader last night had a total of around $5100, so consider the value here: With aggressive play, you should be able to turn your starting $1000 into $6000 about one time in six. First place pays you 50:1 on your entry fee. So, you're getting paid 50:1 on a 5:1 shot, and that doesn't consider the value of second or third place.
In my own play, I ended up on the 5 side instead of the 1 side of the odds, blowing my $1000 on the first hand. I hope your luck is better. (And, yes, I still advocate max $1000 bets until you're in the lead!)

P.S. VIP is another of the Cryptologic powered casinos that I'm very fond of, and they have an absolutely rock-solid reputation.
