Face The Ace From NBC And Full Tilt Poker

NBC and Full Tilt Poker will film “Face The Ace”, a new concept for a poker show where players who qualify online get to play heads-up against three Full Tilt pros for a $1,000,000 prize.

ESPN has enjoyed a ratings bonanza over the years with its coverage of the WSOP. The Travel Channel at one time became synonymous with televised poker tournament success through its airings of the high rated World Poker Tour.

Full Tilt Poker was one of several online poker rooms whose funds were seized by the US Attorneys office in the Southern District of New York in early June. A total exceeding $40 million has thus far been froze.
