Although some players returned from the previous season, others qualified at various tournaments in casinos throughout the United States. Additionally, two of the best players from a tournament on America Online were invited as well.There were two new hosts for this season - John Fugelsang and Ben Mezrich. John Fugelsang once hosted America's Funniest Home Videos while Ben Mezrich is known for his book, Bringing Down the House.The following special rules were in play this season:"Knockout Card" - This knocks the player with the least amount of money out of the game. This card appears twice in the game. If it does, then the next round becomes a knockout round. The player with the least money will be knocked out at the end of that round, unless somebody busts out in the round before the knockout round. The knockout card can appear in either a dealer or player hand. In either case, it is replaced with another card."Second Chance" - A drawing to invite an eliminated player back to the game in one of the two wild-card rounds. Every player who did not place first or second in one of the qualifiers has a chance at the second-chance drawing. Those that finished in third received three tickets, fourth received two, and each fifth-place finisher received one."Burger King Power Chip" - This valuable chip lets a player change a card. Each player gets one but only one of these per game, so it's important not to waste it. The power chip can be also be used as method of "checking" a double-down card. If they player likes the card, they are allowed to keep it and that will count as a use of the power chip. If they don't like it, they may opt to replace it.The players are staked $100,000. The minimum bet begins at $1,000. After the first knockout round, the minimum bet rises to $2,500. After the second knockout round, it rises to $5,000. The maximum bet is always $50,000.World Series of Blackjack is part of GSN's interactive block! To play along online, visit GSN's website during any airing of the show.Missed the finale?
