Last year I wrote a review of Ken Einger's book, Play to Win: A World Champion's Guide to Winning Blackjack Tournaments. At the time it was the most definitive book about Blackjack tournaments. However as we know things never stay the same for long. In September, the Ultimate Blackjack Tour made its debut on television and introduced a whole new Elimination format for Blackjack tournaments.

This new format has made Blackjack tournaments faster moving and more exciting and many tournaments are now adopting this format. Ken Einiger and his publisher Huntington saw an immediate need to update Play to Win to cover the new Elimination Blackjack tournaments. As of this time it is the only book on the market that covers the Elimination Blackjack

A new chapter was added to explain the rules and strategy for playing Elimination Blackjack. Whether by design or coincidence the new chapter is number 13 and it could spell bad luck for your opponents if you follow the advice when you play.
