Update Details

Added details (The winner of each of 3 satellites wins a seat into GSN's World Series of Blackjack. Registration will open Dec. 10,2005, at the conclusion of their monthly tournament on that date --- register in person on that date. After Dec. 10, 2005, register by phone - ext. 2503 from 9:00am to 6:00pm (central time). Registration will end when all 3 satellites are full. You will probably need a player card to enter. On the day of each satellite, seat assignments for round 1 will start at 9:00am. Play will begin at 12:00. Although rebuys are possible, if a satellite tournament is full, and they expect it to be, there will be no rebuys. No wild cards - you must win your way into the WSOB. Maximum of 126 players per satellite. Three (3) rounds will be played in each satellite: Round 1 - 6 players per table, 2 advance per table. Round 2 - 6 players per table, 1 advance per table Round 3 (Final) - 7 players It's possible that TV crews will be filming some of the action.). Added prize details (Talk about top heavy. The winner gets a seat in the WSOB (only 40 seats to be awarded nationwide), VIP treatment during week of the shoot, free hotel and meals. Don't know about air fair. Then, the winner of the WSOB will walk away with over $500,000. A drawback is that equity is rather poor. $50,400 will be paid in entry fees. Out of that, $25,000 goes into the $1,000,000 prize pool for the WSOB. The remaining $25,400 goes to "production costs" - this according to information I got from talking to the HO-CHUNK tournament people.).
