This is a big money game of Celebrity Blackjack in which the celebrities aren't afraid to bet as high as $100,000 or even go all-in. Although Dennis Rodman is supposed to be an intimidating presence, his blackjack strategy proves to be less than intimidating. By the end of the game, one player is out and another has no chance of winning. The game once again comes down to a final hand that could determine a comeback winner, or seal the win for a player leading throughout.moreless
