We move to the Golden Nugget and make a couple of personnel changes in Season 2. Dealer Diana replaces Tiki Arsenault as the dealer, and Megan Riordan is introduced as the new co-host (replacing Melana Scantlin). The top players from last year will return to test their blackjack skills against all-new competitors. Season 2-Episode 1 (January 21st, 2005)
Stann follows a progression called the “Martingale,” as well as subjecting his competitors to a load of trash talk. Katya and Rene get in the hole and decide to go all-in to get back in the game. It doesn’t work, and we’re down to three by the final hand. In the end, a dealer 21 gives Kevin the win and $25,000. Dave will get another shot at the wild card table. Winner: Kevin Blackwood Season 2-Episode 2 (January 28th, 2005)
Winner: Leann Moell Season 2-Episode 3 (February 4th, 2005)
All competitors were still around at the end, with only Regina, Robert, and Stanford having a realistic shot of winning. Stanford had $95,000 but decided to only bet $5,000. It proved to be the correct strategy as he won the game and moved on to the finals. Robert took second place and got a spot at the wild card table. Winner: Stanford Wong Season 2-Episode 4 (February 11th, 2005)
