Winner of Barona Valley Ranch’s $1 Million Blackjack Tournament
Congratulations to Joe Maloof, co-owner of the Sacramento Kings and the Palms Casino & Resort in Las Vegas, who won the invitational $1 Million Blackjack Tournament at the Barona Valley Ranch Resort & Casino in late February! Maloof played 120 hands during
the two-day, four-round tournament. Down $16,000 entering the last hand, Maloof hit a $25,000 blackjack to win the winner-take-all event. His brother Gavin Maloof, co-owner of the Kings, was eliminated in the semifinals. Reacting to his million-dollar win Maloof said,“The only thing that would make me happier is if the Kings won the championship.” Maloof was one of 41 entrants and advanced through the invitation-only event. After anteing up a $10,000 entrance fee, contestants were issued $50,000 in tournament chips to be used per round, with a minimum bet of $1,000 or maximum bet of $25,000 per hand required.
