Hosted by [I]The Sopranos[/I] Steve Schirripa, contestants on the show will first select a pro from behind four smoked-glass doors and then play that pro in a heads-up No-Limit Hold'em match with $40,000 up for grabs. Should the contestant prevail, they can keep the $40,000 or choose another pro to play for $200,000. Contestants moving on to the third round will play for the $1 million top prize. If the contestant loses at any point, they walk away with nothing and the winning pro takes $10,000 for their charity of choice. The series will premiere with back-to-back shows Saturday evening and continue its seven-episode run on Saturday afternoons beginning in September. Fifteen Full Tilt pros were chosen as "Aces," including [URL="http://www.pokerlistings.com/poker-player_patrik-antonius"]Patrik Antonius[/URL], [URL="http://www.pokerlistings.com/poker-player_andy-bloch"]Andy Bloch[/URL], [URL="http://www.pokerlistings.com/poker-player_allen-cunningham"]Allen Cunningham[/URL], [URL="http://www.pokerlistings.com/poker-player_chris-ferguson"]Chris Ferguson[/URL], [URL="http://www.pokerlistings.com/poker-player_phil-gordon"]Phil Gordon[/URL], [URL="http://www.pokerlistings.com/poker-player_gustav-hansen"]Gus Hansen[/URL], [URL="http://www.pokerlistings.com/poker-player_jennifer-harman"]Jennifer Harman[/URL], [URL="http://www.pokerlistings.com/poker-player_phil-ivey"]Phil Ivey[/URL], [URL="http://www.pokerlistings.com/poker-player_john-juanda"]John Juanda[/URL], [URL="http://www.pokerlistings.com/poker-player_howard-lederer"]Howard Lederer[/URL], [URL="http://www.pokerlistings.com/poker-player_erick-lindgren"]Erick Lindgren[/URL], [URL="http://www.pokerlistings.com/poker-player_mike-matusow"]Mike Matusow[/URL], [URL="http://www.pokerlistings.com/poker-player_huck-seed"]Huck Seed[/URL], [URL="http://www.pokerlistings.com/poker-player_erik-seidel"]Erik Seidel[/URL], and [URL="http://www.pokerlistings.com/poker-player_gavin-smith"]Gavin Smith[/URL].
