Global-Player and Texas Tournaments move their satellite Blackjack cruise tournament from Sundays to this Friday, May 19th, 2006. All though the attendance for the Sunday events were around 35 players per tournament, several of the players couldn't make it until half way through the first round of play. After discussing options we decided to try the tournaments on a different day and time in hopes of drawing more players for the tournament. These tournaments are an inexpensive way for the players to win their entry for the Texas Tournaments August 12th, 2006 Blackjack cruise to the Bahamas. The entry fees will be $40 with $20 re-buys and all prizes will be paid in cash for those not able to go on the cruise may still play and win.
