Nick Kallos,
owner of Casino Gaming School in Las Vegas,
Nevada, tells us what to look for during
the tournament.
A large number of expert
and amateur-level Blackjack
players begin several days of elimination play.
Several groups play
simultaneously, with the winner of
each table advancing to the next level.
The best seven players
meet at the final table.
With only a limited number of hands to play, the bets
often exceed several thousand dollars per hand.
The final hand with three
players remaining. The dealer hits nineteen, eliminating two of the three
players and
creating the tournament's first million dollar winner......
