Elimination Blackjack - Ultimate Blackjack Tour

I keep seeing ads for "Elimination Blackjack" in the latest issue of Casino Player magazine. I'm not even sure what Elimination Blackjack is, but it sounds kinda cool. According to one of the ads I'm reading over here, Dave "Devilfish" Ulliott is saying that they've taken blackjack and added poker elements to it in order to make it a multiplayer super game. I've done a search on Google and it looks like the concept of Elimination Black Jack is something that's under contention legally between the Ultimate Blackjack Tour and the Game Show Network (GSN).
I'm going to try to learn more about the Elimination Blackjack game and give it a try. I'm not a bad poker player anymore, so maybe some of those skills will come in handy when I try this poker-blackjack-super-game.
Later that same day
Okay, I've found the information about how to play Elimination Blackjack. Here's quick summary in my own words:
Elimination Blackjack is a form of tournament blackjack played on the Ultimate Blackjack Tour. To avoid being eliminated a blackjack player has to play against both the dealer and the other players. Each player starts with $100k in chips. Minimum bet is $1k, and max bet is $100k. Players only get 25 seconds to make a decision about their hand. The game includes 30 hands, and hands 8, 16, and 25 are forced elimination rounds, where the players who have the least amount of chips are automatically eliminated. During these forced elimination rounds, the players get 45 seconds to act instead of 25 seconds. Each player gets one secret bet to use during each round. At the end of 30 hands, the player with the most chips is the winner.
Sounds pretty cool. I wonder if you can play Elimination Blackjack online anywhere?
