Face the Ace

Face the Ace is the NBC TV show where contestants face off against professional poker players. The show is sponsored by the online poker site Full Tilt Poker, where contestants can compete in a qualifying tournament. The winners of that tournament are flown to Las Vegas, where they film the game show at Cin City Studios. The contestants are given four doors to choose from, each with a poker professional behind it, including legendary players like Phil Ivey, Howard Lederer, Chris Ferguson, Erick Lindgren, Erik Seidel, Allen Cunningham, John Juanda, Jennifer Harman, Phil Gordon, Andy Bloch, Mike Matusow, Gus Hansen, and Patrik Antonius. Once they choose their door, they must face the ace in a one-on-one Texas hold 'em poker match. If they win, they can take the money and run, winning $40,000, or risk it all and play another pro for $200,000. If they win both, they can move onto the third and final round, where the prize goes all the way up to $1,000,000. Tune in as these contestants risk it all in the Texas hold 'em challenges of Face the Ace. MORE
