Brian Soper who is a resident of Ypsilanti has become a local celebrity after winning his way onto a blackjack show on CBS. He won his seat after winning a free online blackjack tournament and will now play in the Ultimate Blackjack Tour final table. He usually helped run the local Heritage Festival casino tent but this time he will be a “celebrity” dealer for the festivities. The competitive blackjack show will air this fall on CBS coming back for its second season.
Not to be outdone, his girlfriend, Deb Opalewski, won a seat to another televised blackjack tournament. Where she will play for a large cash prize. Sounds like they are a competitive couple…and it will be interesting to see how they do when the shows air this fall.
