Face the Ace

When you think of cards and see the title, you automatically think of the highest card in the deck, but that’s not true of this new television programs sponsored by Full Tilt Poker. The aces you face are three ace professional poker players. You play three heads up games for the big prize, but you have to do a little work before you arrive at those tables.

Do you think you have untapped poker muscles you’d love to flex but don’t have the dough to enter the World Series of Poker? Then this is the contest for you. The entry fee is in line with everyone’s pocketbook because it’s free. You win by beating out hundreds of other players in three separate rounds. The first round contains either 360 players or 180. You have to have fast clicking fingers to enter the 180 person round because it fills up fast. If you win that round, you’re in the semi-finals. Winners of the semi-finals go on to the finals. If you win the final round, you win a trip to Las Vegas for two where you audition for the show Face the Ace.

You don’t have to be at the keyboard a specific time because the first rounds are continuous 24/7. If you miss one round, don’t worry, there’s another in a few minutes. Use that time to visit the Full Tilt Academy or play a few hands of live poker against people from all over the globe.

Not everyone gets to be on the program but if you’ve made as a finalist, you get not just the free airfare to Vegas for you and a companion but also four nights at the Golden Nugget Hotel in Las Vegas and $500 spending money. Not a bad deal whether you make the show or not.

What do you win if you go on the show? A chance at a cool million dollars is the prize if you have the luck, the ability and the cool for the challenge. You do have to be at least 21 years old in order to participate in the contest and you can’t work for any of the promotion entities or have a close family member that works for them. If you’ve cleared those barriers, you may be Full Tilt’s next millionaire.

So, how do you become the next Chris Ferguson, Phil Ivey or Allen Cunningham? All you need to do is open an account at Full Tilt Poker to be eligible. Once your account is open, you simply look for the next Face the Ace competition listed under the heading of real money Sit & Go, and register for the next contest. The competition is stiff but minor compared to what you’ll face once you’re head to head with a pro.

All you need to do is sign up. Don’t forget to include a legitimate email account, that’s how they contact you. If they can’t, no matter whether you won or not, you’re out of luck because you forfeit the prize.

So, are you ready for the challenge? Do you have what it takes to beat a pro? Are you ready to Face the Ace?
