ULTIMATE BLACKJACK TOUR

The 'Ultimate Blackjack Tour' is a televised series of Elimination Blackjack tournaments airing on CBS. It debuted on September 16, 2006. The show consists of a series of televised Elimination Blackjack tournaments. The winner of each weekly tournament returns for the final Tournament of Champions.
Along with professional blackjack players and Internet qualifiers, the producers included a number of professional poker players not normally known for playing blackjack to draw attention to the poker elements inherent in the unique format of Elimination Blackjack tournaments.
The show is hosted by Max Rubin and Mati Moralejo, with Nikki Ziering and Shandi Finnessey serving as sideline reporters.
Featured players of the Ultimate Blackjack Tour are members of Team UBT, which is made up of poker stars like Johnny Chan, Robert Williamson III, and Phil Laak and professional blackjack players like world champions Ken Einiger and Anthony Curtis, "Hollywood" Dave Stann and Monica Reeves.
Rebroadcasts of the first season started airing in January 2007 on Superstation WGN, with the second season scheduled to debut on CBS next Fall.
