| Ken Einiger Wins World Series of Blackjack 2005 |
| Friday, April 22, 2005 |
| From a field of 40 players, the final table came down to four people. Rick Jensen, Stanford Wong, Kami Lis and Ken Einiger all came with one goal: to outlast the others and take home the $250,000. On the GSN finale on Friday, April 22nd at 10PM EST, Ken Einiger came from behind and took home a total of $265,000. After losing on the 27th hand to a set of 7s from the dealer, all hope seemed lost. However, with the help of a suicide stay from Kami Lis, it came down between Stanford Wong's hand and Ken Einiger's double down. Ken had a soft 19 before the dealer turned over her cards. Luckily, she had a 14, and with a long, tense pause, the dealer turned over a king, for a 24. The $100,000 gain from that hand gave Ken Einiger the win, and is now the second biggest winner in GSN history. |
